ALL PROFITS OF THIS ALBUM WILL BE GOING TO SUPPORT "Yazidi Women" SUFFERING FROM "Yazidi Genocide"

Thrilled to share an exciting news with you just days before folding 2023. I'm honoured to perform two shows with my duo kamancello at The Leaf, Aassiniboine, Park in Winnipeg New Festival on January 28.

Ez pir keyfxweşim ku tenê çend roj beriya ku sala 2023-an biqelişe vê nûçeya girîng agadar dikim. Ez wek hunermendekî Kurd serblindim ku du konseran le gel koma xwe Kemançlo de "Winnipeg New Festival" le salona The Leaf de pêşkeş dikin.

زۆر خۆشحاڵم ئەم هەواڵە گرنگە پێش لە کۆتایی ساڵی ٢٠٢٣دا بەلاوە بکەم. جێگای شانازیمە وەکۆ تاکێکی کورد لە گەڵ گرووپەکەم «کەمانچڵو» دوو کۆنسێرت لە The Leaf کە بەشێک لە فێستیڤاڵی شاری وینێپگە Winnipeg New Festival پێشکەش دەکەین.

I'm sharing moments of the CBC's Big City Small World show hosted by Errol Nazareth - he played my Kamancha piece "Viyan" during his October 21st show and mentioned the poet and writer Banoo Zan's Fundraiser event which will be at Toronto's Tranzac club tomorrow!

sketch of lapis playing a kamancha, an azerbaijani/persian instrument that is played like a cello. ill post the finished version if i wont be picked for oceangemzine2017 in the 14th

here’s someone playing it :

Kurdish voices are always ignored in centralist Persian dialogues, Kurdish people are 10 percent of the Iranian population who paid a big price in the Jina Revolution movement in the past year until now; however, they have been put in the corner to be invisible by Persian supremacy and right-wing nationalists. The inputs of the Kurdish community including intellectuals, human rights activists, and artists, are observable and nobody can deny the Kurdish role and Kurdistan!

Thrilled I'll be performing a Kamāncha recital at the forthcoming event to emphasize the voice of Kurds and primarily supporting the Woman Life Freedom Anthology Fundraiser which is organized by Banoo Zan and Cy Strom at Toronto's Tranzac Club on Tuesday, October 24.

Very much look forward to seeing Kurdish friends and activists there!

"Kamāncheh / Kamānche / Kamāncha / Kamança / Lute Fiddle (four-stringed-spike fiddle) means the small arc bow in Kurdish and Farsi. It is one of the oldest bowed string instrument from Byzantium Empire and Golden Age century and a member of Chordophone musical instruments the bowed Lira family."
