WORLD MUSIC
On her remarkable solo CD, "Jostojoo" (Forever Seeking), Tehran's Mamak Khadem (formerly with Los Angeles' Axiom of Choice) sings deep-rooted, world-fusion melodies from Iran, Turkey, Greece, and Armenia as traditional and modern instruments percolate behind her. "Through the 15th century, people traveling on silk caravans would gather around fires at night, playing music," says Khadem, who performs tonight in Watertown. "Our ensemble creates the same mood, becoming those travelers who shared the essence of their cultures through music." 7:30 p.m. $25. Watertown Middle School, 68 Waverly Ave., Watertown. 617-924-9507. mamak-khadem.com
