Aynur - Rewend Nomad (Berklee Mediterranean Music Institute Concert)
Aynur Dogan performing her orginal song "Rewend Nomad" with Berklee's Mediterranean Music Institute. Aynur is one of Turkey’s most popular musicians who performed with the MMI Consort, a band of Berklee students from Mediterranean countries. The MMI seeks to raise awareness and promote gender equality in the Mediterranean music scene.
Aynur’s music is based on traditional Kurdish folk songs, many of them at least 300 years old. Her lyrics are about the life and suffering of the Kurdish people, especially Kurdish women. Her music blends Kurdish with Western music, giving a completely renewed sound to the traditional Kurdish folk repertoire.
Aynur was awarded with the Master of Mediterranean Music Award in recognition of her contribution to the preservation of Kurdish folk oral traditions, interpreting the traditional repertoire and blending it with other modern western styles, opening a new path to this Mediterranean style. Aynur’s faithfulness to traditional Kurdish music, and her perseverance in overcoming big challenges to follow her artistic path, make her an important example for other women artists seeking a creative voice in the Mediterranean music scene.
