Nowruz is also known as Persian New Year and dating back over 3000 years. It falls exactly on the day of the Spring Equinox. And its message is international: we celebrate new life, awakening of nature, new beginnings and the end of the winter. More than 300 million people of various nations celebrate Nowruz worldwide. Among them are countries such as Iran, Afghanistan, Albania, Georgia, Kazakhstan, Kyrgyzstan, Tajikistan and many more.

The organizer of the festivities in Prague Mr. Shahab Tolouie points out: “To mark the 10th anniversary of the official recognition and inclusion of Nowruz in the immaterial UNESCO Cultural Heritage, from this point on we want to organize more events around this date such as seminars, workshops and concerts to transform the event into a true multicultural festival.”

We’d like to invite you to Prague’s Theatre U Hasičů (Římská 45, Prague 2) on March 24th, where at 7:30pm. We’ll celebrate the Persian New Year 1396 and the Spring Equinox 2017.
During the evening you’ll get to enjoy the passionate yet mystical Persian-Flamenco fusion brought to by internationally renowned Iranian musician Shahab Tolouie & his band:
Tomáš Vychytil (CZE) guitars
Gavrilo Alexich (YUG) bass
Tokhi Krupa (CZE) percussions

Summer is here, warm up shows are over and now we‘re about to hit the road with some serious massive sound for you.

The hottest time of the year has already begun. Most festival lineups have been finalized and announced, and now we can invite you to get a taste of Shahab’s Middle Eastern guitar riffs during his guest appearances with the international ethno-bass band N.O.H.A.
