Dalston's musical multi-cultural hotspot welcome back the electric Persian Love for another colourful evening celebrating the rich musical world of Iran and Morocco.
Persian Love are back on the mainstage of Dalston’s beloved cultural hub, The Jago for the next chapter of the acclaied PERSIAN LOVE series—a transcendent fusion of Bandari’s fiery coastal rhythms and Gnawa’s hypnotic spiritual grooves. This is where Iran’s swaying shores meet Morocco’s mystic trance, all under one roof in London’s vibrant heart.
Prepare for a night of hip-shaking, soul-stirring anthems that weave together tribal Persian melodies, Hausa grit, Fulani sway, and Bambara pulse. These sounds aren’t just music—they’re sacred vibrations, tied to the spiritual cosmos of our homelands. The gher’s percussive call, the guembri’s deep hum, and the sorna’s piercing cry will guide you into ecstatic movement, as they have for generations.
This isn’t just a party; it’s a ceremony of connection. To bring these frequencies to London—a city that thrives on multicultural dialogue—and to The JAGO, a space that champions radical inclusivity, feels like coming full circle. Here, diasporas collide, traditions evolve, and dancefloors become portals to ancestral joy.
So lose yourself in the sweat-drenched swing of Bandari, the trance-inducing loops of Gnawa, and the raw energy of a crowd that knows: these rhythms aren’t new—they’re eternal. Let’s honor them together, far from home but deep in the groove
