Şehrîbana Kurdî
The most recorded female voice of the Kurdish wedding floor.
- Region
- Bakur / diaspora
Şehrîbana Kurdî is one of the most recorded female voices of the Kurdish wedding and folk repertoire. Across a huge catalogue reaching back to the cassette era, she has sung the govend standards, regional love songs and dilan repertoire that keep wedding floors moving from Bakur to the European diaspora. Her voice, bright and tireless, stands for a whole profession: the singers who carry the daily musical life of the community rather than the concert stage, and whose songs everyone knows even when no one remembers learning them.
