Badieh: music from the borderlands of Afghanistan & Iran

  • Temple on the Park 158 Australia Street Newtown, NSW, 2042 Australia (map)

Experience the power and beauty of traditional music from the borderlands of Iran and Afghanistan as Badieh brings to life the rich and rarely heard music of Greater Khorasan.

Presented by Worlds Within Worlds, this deeply immersive and transportive experience combines traditional instruments with centuries-old melodies, creating a sonic journey that's both meditative and emotionally powerful.

From the sweeping steppes of borderland towns to the ancient spirit of Herat and Torbat-e-Jam, Badieh’s soul-stirring sound offers a rare glimpse into one of the world’s most evocative musical legacies, rarely heard but deeply felt.

Whether you're culturally connected to the region, drawn to world traditions, or simply seeking the connection through immersive musical experiences, Badieh offers a timeless, vital, and deeply human passageway for all to an ancient musical world.

"Get ready to be teleported across time and space. Badieh’s self-titled debut hearkens to something nigh spiritual that feels ancient as much as eternal." - Everything Is Noise
