Diaspora Arts Connection proudly presents multi-instramentalist musician Mohammad Khodadadi at DAC@Home. Mohammad Khodadadi studied music in Iran and Austria and has been teaching music in Austria for many years. This DAC @Home presentation is in keeping with his "Music in Simple Language with Mohammad Khodadadi" collection in which he deals with the concepts of Persian traditional music in simple language, an art that unfortunately due to the existing restrictions, such as the lack of music education in schools, radio and television, remains unknown and is less addressed in simple language.
