Dengbêj Zahiro

Dengbêj Zahiro belongs to the generation of Serhed singers who carried the kilam from the divan room into the cassette era, ensuring the tradition survived the century that tried hardest to silence it. His recordings circulate among connoisseurs and streaming listeners alike, and searches for his name accompany every revival wave the dengbêj tradition has seen in recent years. Like his peers he is best known through the kilams themselves; this archive documents them as its dengbêj section grows.
