Botan Times EnglishThree young singers and three new albums

In the last four months, three young artists have embarked on their journey in Kurdish music with three new albums.

Roleda, Dilşah Kaymaz, and Hevraz are the three young artists.

Roleda
Roleda has been sharing his music with us for several years through various songs. His song “Medûsa” attracted attention with its unique lyrics and music. Following that, “Keçkeçikê” and “Axa Sor” were released.

Since that day, he has captured the attention of listeners.

He released his new album in June of this year.

The name of his new album is “Rîtmên Peyvan.” The album includes one pre-music track, six studio-recorded songs, and one live song, totaling eight tracks. Like his previous songs and singles, Roleda has taken full responsibility for the preparation of the songs. He wrote the lyrics and composed the music for them himself.

He also arranged the songs himself. Roleda’s music is not static or fixed. In each of his new songs, he experiments with new styles and trends from Eastern and Western Kurdistan. There are various styles and colors of world music, including blues, reggae, electronic folk, jazz, and many other diverse genres. He often blends these styles. These musicians bring the colors and sounds of Kurdish music together, creating a unique blend of traditional Kurdish music.

Roleda has released his entire album. He releases his songs one by one.

So far, five songs from this album have been released on digital platforms. For his new album, Roleda held a special event in June in Amsterdam, the capital of the Netherlands. The event took place at the Rû Parê Cultural Center, where musicians and journalists from various countries participated.

During the event, Roleda performed live songs from his new album.

Dilşah Kaymaz
Dilşah Kaymaz is a young singer in Kurdish music. Like Roleda, she released her album in June. The album contains four songs, three of which have been released so far. Two songs are in Kurmanji, one in Sorani, and one in Kurmanji/Dimili. The Sorani song is titled “Yaran le vergim,” written by Enwer Qeredaxî, who also composed the music.

The Kurmanji song is by Kerem Sevînçî and is titled “Dinya.”

In the album, the song that has been released so far is “Deryayek Kûr,” arranged anew by Serap Sonmez.

In her album, Dilşah Kaymaz collaborated with the renowned and experienced artist Mirady. Mirady composed the music for two of Kaymaz’s songs. Additionally, Cansun Kuçukturk, Özgün Umut Üçer, and Tuncer Tokluyî arranged the songs.

After this album, Kaymaz also released a single titled “Şînek bo Manê.” The song was created based on the poem of poet Şêxmûs Kurtî.

With her voice and style, Dilşah Kaymaz is making a name for herself in the realm of contemporary Kurdish music.

Hevraz
Hevraz is one of those singers who strives to find his own path in Kurdish music.

So far, he has released several songs, some of which are in Turkish, but most are in Kurdish.

Hevraz has now released a new album titled “Asê.” The album contains seven songs, two of which are based on the poems of Arjen Ariyî. The other songs are by Hevraz himself. His songs primarily focus on love and the lyrics are written accordingly. In some parts, he has experimented with “linguistic boundaries,” like in “Ez te dicemidim.”

His songs express hopes related to love and melancholic feelings.

In this album, along with the guitar, Hevraz has used several other instruments, the violin and the instrument being two of them.

He has also prepared several video clips for his songs and published them on digital platforms.

Short-short

Along with young artists, experienced artists of Kurdish music also released several songs.

Diljen Roni has been preparing his new album for some time, the song “Kazacok” was already released from this album called “Ji bîr neke”. Roniyi is now singing “Kejê”, which was famously sung by Muhammad Arif Ciziri. Roniyi sings in a new form. Kom Muzik publishes the new album of Diljen Roni.

Eli Inanir also released a new song this week. The name of his song is “Warê me” for which Ali İnanır and Cahit Aktashi wrote the lyrics and they composed the music together.
