You are my eyes - Songs From Turkish Kurdistan CD

With the intention of providing a new and refreshing resource for people who wish to experience the strength and beauty of the distinct Kurdish culture in Southeast Turkey, we have published this new collection of audio recordings titled "Chavê Minî - You are my eyes: Songs from Turkish Kurdistan." This CD is primarily composed of field recordings collected in Turkish Kurdistan during the Summer of 2001 and is supplemented by archival recordings donated by Kurdish record companies in Istanbul. It includes 22 tracks (an approximately 60 minute running time) and a twenty-four page color booklet rich with liner notes and expressive photographs from the region, which provide a beautiful and honest reflection on the music, land, and people of present day Turkish Kurdistan. While the CD presents a selection of diverse musical styles (including various songs of mourning, political songs, and wedding songs), the bulk of the recordings highlight the distinct Kurdish tradition of the Denbêj singers, or "Bards of Kurdistan," who have fulfilled their social role of collecting and reciting the history of the Kurdish people for centuries.

This CD bears witness to the beauty of the Kurdish people and supports and advocates their right to speak, sing, write, and learn in their own language and live freely in their land. We hope that our work will lend support to the undeniable distinct and unique nature of the Kurdish people and their culture.
