Description was written before the event

BaranBand is a six-piece band from Helsinki led by charismatic brothers Gian and Marouf Majidi. The ensemble plays Middle Eastern music with North African flavours - Kurdish-Iranian roots and the members' diverse cultural backgrounds shine through in danceable rhythms and Eastern melodies. In summer 2026, the band released their debut album Mn Bo To.

On stage you'll hear Kurdish vocals (Gian Majidi), Arabic percussion (Ricardo Padilla), keyboards (Esko Grundström), double bass (Simo Kärki), tar-lute (Marouf Majidi), and violin (Lotta-Maria Pitkänen). The lyrics explore life and its joys.

About the venue: Kulttuuritehdas Korjaamo

Korjaamo is a cultural venue in Töölö, Helsinki, housed in a former tram depot dating from the early 20th century. The industrial brick halls host theatre, concerts, film screenings and a wide range of events throughout the year. The original architecture - high ceilings, exposed brick - has been kept intact as a defining feature of the space.
