HUUUM

HUUUM is the live project of Omid Darvish (vocals), Rojin Sharafi (electronics) and Álvaro Collao Leon (saxophone) merging folk-influenced Iranian vocals with free jazz, ambience, electronic beats and impulses, bringing us dance music of an entirely new kind.

HUUUM is synonymous with synthesis, openness, substance and avid noncompliance. Atypical rhythms and microtonal music, singing in multiple languages, sensitive improvisation and the interlacing of artforms and cultures – HUUUM leads with transcension and lands with unstoppable movement.

Both defying and bonding traditions simultaneously, HUUUM is reinventing our geopolitical musical landscape – via powerfully succulent vocals, deep-burrowing beats, clanging percussive effects and ever-moody reeds.

HUUUM is the living embodiment of the unknown, the re-learned, and the profoundly unapologetic – with nothing to stop it but the club’s last call.
