Bazar is an experimental World Music project based on folk and regional melodies and motifs from Middle East and Asia with modern arrangements, Jazz harmonies and experimental atmosphere.

This project includes a collection of original compositions by Reza Moghaddas created in over ten years for various Film, Theatre and Dance projects such as "Homeland" and "Less than a Half" directed by Setareh Delzendeh and produced by Godot Art Production.
In this project Reza is collaborating with Morgan Doctor an international drummer, percussionist and producer and Sina Momtahan a multi-instrumentalist from Toronto, presenting a different approach to his original music and some new experimental creations


Bazar means market in many languages including Persian, Turkish, Greek, and Arabic. Ancient Middle Eastern Bazars were merchandising arenas at which not only goods and services were bartered or sold but where intellectuals, artists and political activists met and exchanged ideas.

Homeland is a harmonious direction of dance, light and music. The music by Reza Moghaddas is simply mesmerizing. This is a must-see performance!” ~ Shahrvand Publication

“The live soundtrack reminded me of Mexican prehispanic new age musician Jorge Reyes, but this Iranian Canadian musician impressed me the same.” ~ Oswaldo Perez Cabrera – VanMusic

“…a great trio, I still can’t stop heating their rendition of Afro Blue. John Coltrane was happy wherever he is” ~ Muniini K Mulera
