Kurdish blues....



Even though I do not understand a single word, it gives me the goose bumps.... An amazing song, an amazing musician, Aynur Dogan (Ahmedo) ....

Enjoy her voice!

* In case you are wondering the language, she is singing in Kurdish.

Absolutely beautiful Nevin. One does not have to understand the language to appreciate the beauty. Thank you for sharing.

She is good... I think I saw her in the documentary by Fatih Akin, Crossing the Bridge: The Sound of Istanbul

Nevin said...

Ardent, I totally agree. Music is universal!

TT, you are absolutely right. That is where I first discovered her. It is a great documentary that encompasses various different types of musical influences in Turkey... if anyone is interested, I would highly recommended...

Excellent! She immediately put me in mind of Sheila Chandra; a similar sound, with fine voice control.
