Neighbors

The trio features Simone Bottasso (organetto, composer, improviser) blending traditional and contemporary European music with dynamic stage presence; Reza Mirjalali (voice, Persian tar), combining classical Persian music inherited from his father Sharam with a modern twist; and Nicolò Bottasso on the violin and tenor violin. Neighbors has performed at major international festivals (Music Meeting, Etétrad, De Doelen, Musicamorfosi), contributed to the soundtrack of Biserta - Storia a Spirale (Cosenude Media Projects), and collaborated with the New Rotterdam Jazz Orchestra.

In today’s fragile world, we believe music and art can transcend barriers and bring unity. Neighbors bridges East and West, creating “neighborly” relationships through shared cultural values. Traditional songs from the Italian Alps meet the Persian classical tradition of Radif and the rhythms of Indian tablas, blending improvisation and new compositions for a unique musical experience.
