The Music Nomad | Dengbej Evi Diyarbakir (Turkey)

Old men singing traditional Kurdish dengbej in Eastern Turkey. Dengbej is an oral tradition that captures the history, folk tales and traditions of the Kurdish people. The music was long banned in Turkey, along with the Kurdish language, but has since been legalised again and is now openly practiced in traditional tea houses like the Dengbej Evi in Diyarbakir.
