Spanish producer Javier Limón credits Aynur with a golden future: 'She is so original, I think she will one day perform in great halls like Carnegie Hall or the Sydney opera'. Limón is not the first best, he has already worked with Mariza, Concha Buika and Yasmin Levy. Aynur Dogan was born in the east of Turkey and mainly sings Kurdish repertoire. She does give a surprising twist to those sometimes
… ancient songs. For example, it seems as if these traditionals were composed to be played on Limón's Spanish guitar. In the lyrics about homesickness, grief and loneliness, the turbulent history of the Kurds can be heard. But Aynur's lived, emotional voice never sounds larmoy, but offers hope for better times. The title of this fourth album (Hevra) means 'Together' and together with Javier Limón Aynur has made an album that hopefully will appeal to a wide audience. (PdK)more
