Aynur
Concert
Aynur is a star. She appears around the world, performs with internationally renowned musicians and her youtube videos get millions of views. That’s not what one might expect, because Aynur sings in Kurdish. In her country, this is a personal declaration. «The klams, as our Kurdish folk songs are called, and the stories come from my heart. That’s why singing in Kurdish is inevitable for me», she says. The same commitment to her native culture is evident when she combines traditional melodies with her own songs, folk and flamenco. Aynur and her band, consisting of German, Turkish, Alevi and Rumanian members, are ambassadors of cross-border music. (ron)
