about

Tafrigh (subtraction) is the product of the pandemic era, it’s the deprivation and fear that we’ve seen and felt during these past few years. It’s a fear that is not only caused by viruses and diseases that thrive on our need to connect and make contact, but also the isolation and confinement that the breakages in those connections forces us into. Tafrigh is the consequence of isolation in the age of quarantine.

This double album also represents Vaak Records’ and Otagh Band’s first project involving one of the most important and influential genres of contemporary Iranian music: Persian Rap.
