Alaki (Persian: الکی, meaning fake, irrelevant, or insincere) is a live album by Iranian singer-songwriter Mohsen Namjoo. The album is a recording of a performance at Stanford University in February 2011. The title track Alaki is based on a postmodern poem with social, and at times satirical content that blurs the lines between poetry, music and participatory theater.
