Researched musician profile
About Aida Shahghasemi
Shahghasemi’s official biography identifies her as a Minneapolis-based musician with roots in Iran. It traces university study focused on Persian classical music and Iranian women vocalists, followed by a New York University master’s degree in arts politics and teaching connected to arts activism.[1]
The biography distinguishes touring and recording collaborations from Shahghasemi’s own catalog. It documents four leader albums—Wind Between the Horse’s Ears, Cypress of Abarkooh, Chashmandaaze Rooydaad, and the 2025 Sarāb—alongside Minnesota arts and teaching work.[1][2]
Her artist-run Bandcamp provides complete authorized listening across those albums, individual songs, and collaborations. The catalog’s Minneapolis location and the official biography together establish a durable local practice beyond the venue residency that surfaced the profile.[2][1]
