Album: Sûret / Faces and Images

Sûret is the story of a photograph, of a face. A story that also whispers the silent tales of the faces hanging on the walls of almost every home in Kurdistan, or hidden away in the quiet pages of photo albums. Some people visit the living world only briefly - they depart before dawn breaks, before their names are spoken widely, before their faces become etched in the memories of others. For many years, Kurdistan has been a land of premature departures. Each loss did not only leave a void behind, it also inflicted deep wounds and lasting scars. This album sings the songs of the departed voices lost to the void.
