DoBaRe: Poetry & Music Live in London
Join us on Saturday 17 January 2026 at Rich Mix London for a special evening with DoBaRe, an acclaimed live act blending poetry, music, and personal storytelling into an intimate and deeply moving performance.
Founded by Khatereh Hakimi and Ehsan Goodarzi, DoBaRe creates music rooted in lived experience and lyrical expression. Their performances move seamlessly between song, spoken word, and melody, offering audiences a rare and immersive encounter.
Hakimi, raised in a musical family and trained in theatre set design, began her artistic journey performing in theatre productions before gaining wider recognition through her collaboration with Omid Nemati of the band Palette. After years of solo work, she now performs alongside Goodarzi — a film actor and screenwriter — forming a powerful creative dialogue on stage.
This event is supported using public funding by the National Lottery through Arts Council England.
