Nishtiman Project - Nowruz (Spring in Kurdistan) (2022)

Kurdistan exists, the musicians of the Nishtiman band prove it. Carried by a joyous joy, they celebrate the unity, in all its diversity, Kurds of Iraq, Iran and Turkey.

The percussionist, Hussein Zahawy (musical director) and Goran Kamil, composer and oud player, gather Ertan Tekin who plays the zorna, balaban and duduk, the singer, Ayub Ali, African percussion specialist, Robin Vassy, the kamanche player, Mehrzad Azami Kia and the santur player, Siavash Kamkar. Together, they make music that is no longer obviously from the villages, but it has kept this radiant and combative soul which has passed through through the centuries. This music which sketches a future that is open to the world seems like a rebound, a bridging, an awakening. And this sound here pierces through the roar of guns.
