The Insanity Route: A Musical Journey with Behdad Babaei

Join us on Saturday 22 November at Rich Mix for The Insanity Route – a powerful musical journey into the life and mind of renowned Iranian musician Behdad Babaei, joined by Navid Afghah and Vahid Taremi.
This is a story of unraveling and revelation — of an artist shaped by cultural memory, personal struggle, and the enduring search for meaning. Through music, Babaei charts a path from inner turmoil to creative clarity, from collective pain to silent longing, weaving a deeply emotional narrative that resonates far beyond borders.
Presented as part of the EFG London Jazz Festival 2025, this performance invites you into a soul’s descent — and rise — through chosen madness. An evening of music, memory, and meaning awaits.
