Rabe

In Aynur’s work, every song tells a story, with the celebrated singer drawing from her Kurdish background. Her songs are also moving sound poems, with which she evokes a world of emotions. Together with her own band and the North Netherlands Symphony Orchestra, Aynur presents an anthology of her oeuvre, which ranges from intimate to danceable and in which strings feature prominently.

Aynur has proven to be a sensation in the Netherlands as well, with her past performances at the Muziekgebouw selling out rapidly. Her international status is solidified by the renowned cellist Yo-Yo Ma, who has worked with her and describes her voice as ‘deeply soulful, heart-rending, and unforgettable’. On her most recent album, Rabe, she also blends Kurdish poetry with pop, jazz and classical music.
