LONGİNG/BENDEWARÎ/İNTİZAR
CONTEMPORARY KURDISH JAZZ / WORLD MUSIC
Sakîna & Friends met each other for the first time two years ago in Vienna. They display their common repertoire on their first joint album Longing on the label Ahenk. However, the words Longing and Expectation also have Kurdish and Persian names: Bendewarî and İntizar. Multilingualism is here the key element. The Kurdish singer Sakîna Teyna breaks away from the style of her previous albums Royê Mi / My Soul, Derî / Behind The Doors (with the Trio Mara) and The Bridge / Köprü (with Anadolu Quartet) and moves on into jazzy terrain. She is accompanied by musicians who are at home in both world music and jazz: Ensemble director, guitarist and composer Mahan Mirarab has written most of the arrangements. They are rooms of encounter for violinist Efe Turumtay, clarinetist Oscar Antolí and drummer and Tombak player Jörg Mikula and where the incomparable Iranian singer Golnar Shahyar meets for a duet with Sakîna. All tracks were recorded live in the Czech SONO Studios.The combination of these five various temperaments establishes a common language in which our common hope for a peaceful, fulfilling world can be expressed and experienced. This is what the eponymous longing refers to. They invite you to experience the richness of merging different cultures, languages and melodies - without fear. The five show how it works. The album‘s songs can be heard not only in the three Kurdish dialects Kurmanji, Zazaki and Sorani, but also in Turkish, Armenian, Persian and Azerbaijani. The songs‘ melodies complement each other in a highly harmonious way, although they originate from a region of the world, which is characterized by contradictions, cultural and political conflict. Multilingualism can be a common language.
