SAKINA & ROYE MA: MESOPOTAMIAN CROSSROADS 
WORLD MUSIC FROM TURKEY, ARMENIA AND KURDISTAN

SAKINA & ROYE MA take their audience on a journey into ancient and new Mesopotamia. With sensitivity and poignancy they revive new worlds of sound from their region.
The Quartett take their audience on a journey into ancient and new Mesopotamia. With sensitivity and poignancy they revive new worlds of sound from their region. The ballads and melodies reflect the life in their native country and the suffering and melancholy of the people, while honoring their hopes and dreams. SAKINA combines regional styles of singing with traditional and experimental techniques, interpretive, contemporary, ever searching for new ways. SAKINA has a story to tell, the timbre of her voice impresses and convinces. Her life is further comfirmation. Having grown up in a musical family, the mystical sounds of her alevitic environment engaged her interest very early, followed by classical music, Jazz and Latin-American sounds. EMRAH OGUZTÜRK is recognized as an virtuoso for middle eastern wind instruments who plays the Mey and Zurna as well as the Kaval and Duduk. He is also at home with the Greek gaida. KORAY BERAT SARI and ORKUN AGIR are adept in building an musical bridge with Saz and Guitar between tradition and modernity; virtuous, uncompromising, always trusting new intuitions.

عودست زیر دامن یا گل در آستینت؟
یا مشک در گریبان، بنمای تا چه داری!

زَاول وفا نمودی چندان که دل رُبودی
چون مهر سخت کردم سست آمدی به یاری

ترسم نماز صوفی با صحبت خیالت
باطل بُوَد که صورت بر قبله می‌نگاری

ورنَه به شکلِ شیرین، شور از جهان برآری

هر درد را که بینی درمان و چاره‌ای هست
درمان درد سعدی با دوست سازگاری

This love song has been censored and was excluded from the album by the Turkish Ministry of Culture, because Aram Tigran had not transferred the rights to his songs to his family members before he died. This is not an isolated case in the Kurdish music. The suppression of Kurdish culture in Turkey continues. Spread this song, share this song. No chance to the censorship! SAKÎNA

YARÊ

Yarê bê min çi guneh kir
Ku min ji te heskir
Te þev û roj li min kire sal
Nema min xew kir
Herkesî yarek wê hebu
Min ji xwe þerm dikir
Ax te dilê min revand bir
Qet te þerm nekir
Mi ji bo xwe evîna dilan
Hêlînek çekir
Lê ez bi te pirr ewlebum
Te sebir nekir
Herkesî yarek wê hebu
Min ji xwe þerm dikir
Ax te dilê min revand bir
Qet te þerm nekir

YARÊ (Truelove)

Truelove, tell me
What is my sin
When I love you
The day, the night
They have become never-ending
I cannot find sleep
Everybody knows a truelove
But I am ashamed of myself
Shamelessly you stole my heart
I built a nest for me
made of the love of the hearts
I trusted you
But you could not wait
Everybody knows a truelove
But I am ashamed of myself
Shamelessly you stole my heart

Lyrics and Music: Aram Tigran Melikyan

YARÊ (Yar)

Yar söyle ne günah işledim de seni sevdim 
Günüm ve gecem uzayıp yıla döndü
Artık uyuyamaz oldum
Herkesin bir yari vardı ama ben kendimden utandım
Ah sen gönlümü kaçırıp götürdün hiç de utanmadın
Kendime gönüllerin aşkından bir yuva yaptım 
Ben senden cok emindim ama sen sabretmedin
Herkesin bir yari vardı ama ben kendimden utandım
Ah sen gönlümü kaçırıp götürdün hiç de utanmadın

SAKINA - 'Roye Mi - Songs From Kurdistan' - Yare

‍ ‍ #Xalit_Tarî
خالد_تاری

Kul û kulîlk
زخم و شکوفه

             
Ger ez ba bûma, min ê porên te balasta
اگر باد می بودم گیسوانت را نوازش می کردم
Ger baran bûma, xwe li nav çavên te bixista
اگر باران می بودم خود را در میان چشمانت جای می دادم
Îcar jî ji vê kulê nemirim, nemirim, nemirim
این بار نیز از این زخم نمی میرم، نمی میرم، نمی میرم
Ji bilî kulîlkan, careke din ew hez dikim
بجز شکوفه ها بار دیگر او را دوست دارم
Xezalên tî avê vedixwin ji golê çavên te
آهوان تشنه از دریاچه ی چشمان تو آب می نوشند
Çûkên baskokirî dilûsin ser milên te
گنجشگان خسته بال بر شانه های تو خستگی در می کنند
Meşka xwînê ye ev dilê te
مشک خون است این دل تو
Hevîrtirşê êvara ye kilê te
خمیرترش پسینگاهان است سرمه ی تو
Îcar jî ji vê kulê nemirim, nemirim, nemirim
این بار نیز از این زخم نمی میرم، نمی میرم، نمی میرم
Ji bilî kulîlkan, careke din ew hez dikim
بجز شکوفه ها بار دیگر او را دوست دارم

Discription & Biography

'Mara' is Zazaki, which is one of the oldest native languages in the Middle East. It means BY US.

Mara draws from the rich treasure of traditional Kurdish songs. They express them anew in their own particular way by contrasting classical and contemporary music. Presented in a way only women can sing them these songs turn into a great experience.

Sakina
SAKINA began her career self taught, as an autodidact, before she received professional education and voice training.
In the 90′s she was a member of the Mesopotamian Culture Centre, a Kurdish artists association based in Istanbul but acting throughout all of Turkey. Its members suffered various reprisals by the government because of their Kurdish lyrics. Some of them paid their artistic dedication with their lives.

She continued her work in Armenia, Syria and Kurdish-Irak.
Currently she is living in Vienna.
Since 2008 she has become increasingly involved with human rights issues in particular women’s rights issues.
She views her music as a way portraying the life of people in the Kurdish regions. She realizes this with a sensitive performance of striking melodies by which suffering and melancholy, courage for life and yearning become palpable.

Naze Isxan
Naze Isxan began to play piano at the age of six. The pianist graduated from the Rimsky-Korsakov Conservatory in Krasnodar as a concertmaster and music teacher. Since the end of the nineties, she has given concerts in Russia at first and since 2001 she also appears on a regular basis in other European countries. 
She has a passion for Kurdish music that she would like to introduce to a wider non-Kurdish audience in her concerts. Therefore, she also arranged traditional Kurdish melodies for piano and published the first Kurdish music book for piano in 2004 (Evina Kurdistane - Bona Pianoforte).

Nure Dlovani
Nure Dlovani is a solo violinist who also works as a teacher for violin and piano. She received her professional education at the conservatories in Moscow, Erevan, and Frankfurt.

TRÎO MARA
Trîo Mara ku ji jinan pêk tê û stranên jinan bi înstrumentên klasîk ên rojava û teknîkên deng ê gelerî ji nu ve sirove dike, di kemanê de ji Nurê Dilovanî, di piyanoyê de ji Nazê Îsxan, di stranbêjî de ji Sakîna pêk tê. Rewîtiya Trîo Mara ya mûzîkê berê salek û nîv destpê kir. 
“MARA” bi zaravêya zimanê Kurdî Kirmanckî de tê wateya “Ji Me”. Gelek zimanên din ên Rojhilata Navîn de pêyva “ma” pêyvêk mê ye. Bi Kirmanckî û Ermenîkî tê wateya dê. Mara bi Erebî tê wateya Jin. 
Trîo Mara li keleka sê zaravên zimanê Kurdî, bi Tirkî, bi Ermenîkî û bi Azerî jî stranan dibeje. Endamên Trîo Mara bawer dikin ku sînorên ku deshilatdaran di nava gelande ava kirine bi rêya mûzîkê ku bi xwe zimanek taybete û herkes dikare tê bigîhe ji holê radibin. Bi israrek mezin divê mirov bi zimanê astiyane ya mûzîkê bi pêyîve. 
Her sê hunermendên jin, di stranên xwe de qasê trajedîya gelê Kurd û jinan, heman demê, evîn, sahî û cosî, ês û janên civata xwe jî dixwazin bînin ziman. Hember nêrînên deshilatdar ya zîhniyeta mêran dixwazin bibin dengê jinên ku naxwazin bê deng bimînin. 
Stranên TRÎO MARA ji me wek bêhnek, deng û awazek û rîtmek, ji were bibin xelat. Em hêvîdarin ku hin caran we li serê çiyayên bilind û asîde, hin caran li keleka çemên dîn û har diherikin de, hin caran dêstên bê dawî de derxînin rewîtiyêk xwes ê bi mûzikê re.

TRIO MARA
Kadinlardan olusan, kadinlar tarafindan söylenmis sarkilari klasik bati müzigi enstrümanlari ve geleneksel ses teknikleriyle yeniden yorumlayan TRIO MARA, kemanda Nurê Dilovanî, piyanoda Nazê Îsxan, vokalde de Sakîna'nin yer aldigi bir üçlü olarak müzikal yolculuguna bir seneyi askin bir süre önce basladi.
MARA, Ortadogu’nun kadim dillerinden biri olan Kürtçe’nin Kirmanckî lehçesinde “Bizden„ anlamina gelirken, Ortadogu dillerinin birçogunda da birbirine yakin disil anlamlar tasir. Ma, Ermenice ve Kirmanckî'de köken olarak ana anlamina gelir. Ayrica Arapça'da MARA kadin demektir. 
Kürtçe'nin Kurmancî, Kirmanckî ve Soranî lehçelerinin yanisira, Türkçe, Azerice ve Ermenice sarkilar da seslendiren TRIO MARA, halklarin kültürleri arasinda olusan yapay sinirlarin ortak bir dil olan müzik yoluyla anlamsiz kilinabilecegine ve israrla müzigin barisçil diliyle konusmak gerektigine inaniyor. 
Yüzyillardir savaslarin, kanin, gözyasi ve acinin dinmek bilmedigi Kürdistan’dan gelen TRIO MARA üyeleri, repertuarlarinda kadinlarin ve halklarin trajedilerini yansitan sarkilar kadar, asklarini, coskularini, yasam biçimlerini yansitan sarkilara da yer veriyor. 
TRIO MARA, egemen bakis açilari ve yargilari karsisinda susmayan kadinlarin sesi olmayi amaçliyor. 
TRIO MARA sarkilari bizden size bir nefes, bir ses, bir ritm olarak gelsin. Kah vahsi dag baslarinda, kah coskun irmak kenarlarinda, kah uçsuz bucaksiz ovalarda, müzikle güzel bir yolculuga çikmaniz dilegiyle.

Sakina was born into a Kurdish Alevite family in the small town of Varto in Turkey. As a teenager she started singing with Turkish choirs and bands, but it wasn’t until she entered university that she became acquainted with Kurdish musical traditions and set out to defy cultural assimilation. In 1991 she joined the Mespotamian Cultural Centre in Istanbul, a proponent of Kurdish culture, as a vocalist. Like many other Kurdish musicians, she was forced to literally go underground to practise her music and soon she had to choose political activism over art.

It wasn’t until Sakina arrived to Austria as a political refugee in 2006 that she took to singing as a full-time pursuit again. The first fruit of her concentrated creative efforts were released in the form of her first solo album ROYÊ MI, globally distributed by ARC Music.

Sakina joined forces with pianist Nazê Îşxan and violinist Nurê Dilovanî to form the all-female TRIO MARA, drawing on traditional Kurdish songs mainly sung by and handed down from woman to woman, enrichening the material with Western classical and contemporary approaches. In 2013 the trio released their first album DERI / BEHIND THE DOORS, recorded live at the Rudolf Ötker Hall in Bielefeld. The album was distributed by AHENK MÜZIK and earned the trio a wider acknowledgement. They were included in the portfolio of the Secretary of Culture of North-Rhine Westfalia and publicly commissioned to tour a number of venues in the region.

Since 2013 Sakina works with another group, the ANADOLU QUARTETT, touring Austria and Germany. Their first tour is successfully documented in the form of the live album KÖPRÜ/THE BRIDGE (Ahenk Müzik), a recording that reached a large audience and garnered the group critical recognition.

On top of all that, Sakina has established the Vienna-based ensemble “Sakina & Friends” featuring musicians from Iran, Spain, Austria and Turkey. They regularly perform throughout Austria, where Sakina appears on a lot of album projects and concert bills, never tired to support other artists.
