Ahmet Aslan:
The only time when I was truly myself was during my childhood. Then, when I was 5 years old, my parents registered me at the local office of administration. Probably at that moment I also lost my original self. The only thing I liked at school, when I was that age, was painting.

I believed I could paint away what I had lost. Although the paintings neverÊreflected my true self I still became the best in my age group in Turkey. That happiness also didn't last song: I watched my father use the paintings for firewood so he could enjoy his cup of tea and smoke his cigarettes. (Painting was not considered a serious vocation).

During my time at the Lyceum I learned to play the Tambur. Through the instrument I longed to express my true self. I went from Diyarbekir to the conservatorium of Istanbul, always improving my skill, but failing to find a personal connection/affinity.

In Germany I even lost contact with the Tambur. Then I met the guitar and he helped me rekindle my relationship with the tambur (instrument of my ancestry).

Now we are an union of Three. With the music we made I felt I had reached a point before the Dawn of Time. Is what I was tought the truth? Does history really start at zero? Is zero even in the right place? (Or have we reached the limits of our understanding?)

  • what kind of language is this kurdish?

  • @naheed08 Hallo! Das ist die Zaza-Sprache (Zazaki). Sie ist eine Nordwestiranische bzw. eine Indogermanische Sprache, so wie Kurdisch. Zazaki ist eine eigenständige Sprache, gehört aber zur gleichen Sprachfamilie wie Kurdisch. Gesprochen wird sie überwiegend im Region Dersim und in den benachbarten Bezirken Erzincan, Bingöl, Siverek, Varto ..

    In Bingol Wird es bis zu 95% Zazaki geschprochen. Und Elazig (Palu) darf mans nicht vergessen.

    Es wird auch nicht ueberwiegend in Dersim geschprochen. Man versteht auch kaum Zazaki von Dersim.

    Sie haben das nur so fuer sich angennomen. :D
