“Stranên Şoreşê” is a CD with marches and the latest songs on Afrin resistance. This journey through resistance music, he said “starts with Çerxa Şoreşê and continues until Tola Salan”. 

Songs from 4 parts of Kurdistan

The second CD prepared is "Guldesteyek ji Stranên Bilez-1", where authentic melodies from 4 parts of Kurdistan are brought together. 

“From Serhat to Bingöl, from Behdinan to Soran, from Mardin to Hakkari, authentic melodies are brought together”, said Ali Kaya. 

New albums from two artists

Apart from the two compilations, two artists have released new CDs. 

Ciwan Çewlîg's album "Distara" is in Kurdish's Kîrmancki dialect, which faces the danger of disappearance.

Artist Sîmar has released "Can”.

It is an album where the artist has masterfully blended the past and the present with some authentic works. 

26th International Festival

Afrin Solidarity Platform has the pleasure to invite you to the 26th International Kurdish Culture and Art Festival in Germany on the 7th & 8th of September, 2018.

Each year the traditional Festival brings tens of thousands of Kurds and their friends together for solidarity with the Kurdish democratic and peaceful struggle.

This year the Festival is dedicated to the Kurdish enclave Afrin – Northern Syria. The Turkish state has illegally bombed and invaded Afrin, a Kurdish-majority region which had been a peaceful oasis in a war-torn country, a site of refuge, and stronghold of the Democratic Confederal Project.
