Iranian "Bandbaz" Brothers in finals of America's Got Talent
The Iranian Bandbaz Brothers whose breathtaking performance in NBC's America's Got Talent (link here) advanced them as a Wildcard selection, are seen below in the Finals. They were ultimately eliminated but their final perfomance prompted admiration of judges and audiences:
The Bandbaz Brothers, Ali and Hossein, both come from a family of Iranian circus performers. Ali started performing acrobatics when he was six years old and performed various skills with his father and his brothers, traveling the world and ending up in Vegas! Hossein started learning acrobatics when he was 17 years old, after his grandfather, Mahmoud, kindled the passion for performing in his heart. After performing as separate acts for years, Hossein persuaded Ali to audition for America's Got Talent with him, and Ali excepted the challenge.
