XEYREDÎN AND EKREM

Aydın Müzik Yapım, no date

A lot of tapes are still made in Kurdistan as this one which is recent enough I think by two kemanche players from Turkey. It's rare enough to listen to this kind of music (in France I mean) while what we know mostly from that part of Kurdistan are saz, zurna, kaval or balaban players in bands. I would say that this duet sings and plays local music but there is nothing on the cover to be more precise. So maybe real connoisseurs in Kurdish musical traditions would know where they come from. Any information about them is welcome. Their style of playing is very rhythmic and the 15 songs/tunes on this tape are dance music. Some tunes are composed by them like the song that gave the tape its title.  There is only one track per side as all the songs are sung together.
