Azam Ali, Loga Ramin Torkian and Carmen Rizzo make up the Persian-Indian music trio Niyaz, which blends modern electronica with old Persian folk songs and mystical Sufi poems.

Ali, the vocalist, is also an accomplished hammered-dulcimer player, having learned how to play the instrument under the tutelege of a Persian master. Ali, who was born in Iran and moved to India when she was four, and her husband Torkian, a native Iranian, recently moved to Canada after several years in Los Angeles.

This performance is part of World Beat Weekend at the Flights & Sounds Summer Festival.
