Diaspora Arts Connection proudly presents award-winning Kurdish singer Aynur in San Francisco at Fort Mason's Cowell Theater.
Aynur is the most prominent Kurdish singer of our times. Her music is grounded in traditional Kurdish folk songs, with several of them being more than 300 years old as well as her own compositions. Aynur gives these folk songs a fresh, contemporary makeover, her astonishing lyrics narrating stories about the life and suffering of Kurdish people, women especially.
Aynur fuses with stylistic elements of western music, above all jazz. The result is a unique, unmistakable sound that forms a link between the past and the future. Over the decades Aynur has become a global star of the world music scene as a musical voice of the Kurds.
