AYNUR

A cultural icon of the Kurdish people, Aynur infuses traditional Kurdish folk music with a contemporary sensibility all her own. Her stunning vocal style and success in the music world have allowed her to become a prominent representative of Kurdish people in Turkey and throughout the world.  

“To hear Aynur’s voice is to hear the transformation of all the layers of human joy and suffering into one sound. It reaches so deep into our soul, tears into our hearts, and then we are for one moment, joined as one. It is unforgettable.”—Yo-Yo Ma
