A year after the body of 15-month-old toddler Artin Iran Nezhad was found in Norway, Bay Area-based Iranian singer Mahsa Vahdat offers “Lullaby of the sea – Havets voggesang”, a duet with Norwegian singer Solveig Slettahjell. Nezhad and his family were refugees from Iran who traveled through Turkey, Italy, and France in seek of a better life, but died attempting to cross the English Channel. Vahdat’s new piece is a meditation on this too-common, tragic story of our modern world. All income from streams go to the nonprofit A Drop in the Ocean, supporting refugees in Greece.
