Ahemedo - Aynur Dogan





Ahmedo - Auynur Dogan.
Album: Kece Kurdan (2004)

A tribal Kurdish song, (re)sung by Aynur Dogan. 

Not much information is available about the song as such other than that it is a regretful toned song about the sins of the forefathers specifically talking about the oppression of the Kurds by the Turks!!

 Aynur Dogan, a corset wearing, nomadic looking, husky voiced  curly haired Kurdish beauty was elevated into the global stage when she got featured in a Music Documentary on the music of Istanbul called "Crossing The Bridge: The Sounds Of Istanbul". That`s where i came across this piercing voice that set me on a hunt.... which led me to her and the history of the Kurds !  
Her Album "Kece Kurdan" was banned in Turkey as it was supposedly to contain lyrics that "incites women to take to the hills and promote division". The ban was latter removed in 2005.
