The less-seen photo of the iconic Kurdish poet Sherko Bekas, while he visited Iran in 1998, shows him wearing a pair of eyeglasses and posing for the camera (left); the Kurdish Kamāncha player and composer Shahriyār Jamshidi is wearing a sleeveless shirt and watching the camera too.

The unforgettable memory of the iconic #Kurdish poet ‎Sherko Bekas, while he visited Iran and was our guest in Tehran, in 1998.

Eastern musical model shapes the harmony with melodies and has a relationship with all tones. Absolutely, the Dengbêjî style would be composed in multi or polyphonic form. Considering the concepts of the art in east in contrast with West or European models it's more abstractive and conceptualistic.

Yes, we agreed about the unique techniques in solo Dengbêjî genre; the eastern culture are more individualistic, and the polyphony in Eastern music is not fitted nor comparable to the horizontal layering western harmony in music. We have stabilised and smart melodic based vocal styles too!

Good point; The opera root is related to the medieval fancy culture & it's entirely different from eastern solo vocal music; the loneliness & self-consciousness of individuals powering vocal music in east meanwhile the natural counterpoints connect mono improvised Dengbêjî pieces internally.

Many thanks for your comment! The record is part of a love story and musical Dengbêjî (bard) storytelling piece - highlighting the natural communication between two young lovers in Kurdish Kurmanji in old-world.
