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
