June 14, 2024 brought Trio Karimi Frana Montanari back to Tapadum Ethnic Music Store for another concert: Masih Karimi on tanbur and daf, Peppe Frana on oud and robab, Ciro Montanari on tabla and udu, continuing the syncretic language they’d been building since their debut — rooted in Iranian Kurdish, North Indian, Afghan, and Anatolian music.
Fourteen people came, with forty more following along online — and the following day, the trio’s individual members would each lead their own workshop at the store.
