Dengbêj Şakiro Antolojiya Dengbêjan 2

Dengbêjî: The pillar of Kurdish narrative tradition

The Dengbêjî is one of the strongest pillars of Kurdish oral tradition. A Dengbêj not only strives to deliver songs with the beauty of their voice, but also revives past events in the listeners' memories through linguistic imagery, similes, and metaphors. This makes the Dengbêjî an indispensable part of Kurdish storytelling and the regional and international song heritage.

Dengbêjî and its role in Kurdish music

Dengbêjî elevates Kurdish music to a special level and gives the oral tradition a new form of expression. Themes such as the death of young people, the love of two hearts, wars, or great heroic stories always find their place in Dengbêj singing. The most famous name that is mentioned repeatedly is undoubtedly Şakiro , the legendary Dengbêj.
