Hamid at De Niemanders Presents
Biborder
Hamid is a crossover musician with Iranian roots. In his hometown of Tehran, he immersed himself in early blues on slide guitar and harmonica, developing his own, typical Persian blues sound. In the Netherlands he graduated from the conservatory in Indian classical music on Indian slide guitar. Under the name Biborder, he surprisingly combines influences from Persian music with Indian ragas and Delta blues during his performances — a unique musical experience that you don’t want to miss.

With Phion conducted by Rolf Verbeek, she also shows the music she cherishes. One of those works is an instrumental selection that Gershwin compiled from Porgy and Bess.
