Gabgoo started its work in 2006 when Reza Abaee , Hamid Saeedi , Henrik Nagi , and Habib Meftah Bushehri joined one another to form a musical band.
At this stage Farshid Behzad joined them with the idea to form multimedia performances based on the same idea. The result of such projects would be shows using mediums like music, dance, back-projection, light, etc.
Their idea was to blend local tunes and instruments from various regions of Iran with the musical inputs from all over the world.
Their first project was realized in July 2006 with guest musicians Dara Daraee , Darshan Jut Singh , Arash Eslami , and performance by Mehdi Saki .
The band members have now followed their nomadic journeys and are in different locations around the world, but they keep on working together on their next project via internet.
