Kurdish singer-songwriter Adem Karakoç's songs have always been related to traditional music although they dare to cross those boundaries of genre. His warm raspy voice seems to float over the rather sensual and dreamy harmonies of his Swiss-Kurdish band. Through it, you may catch a glimpse of what these texts are about. Originating in a rich history of cultural oppression, his lyrics describe, in one of the three Kurdish languages, Zazaki, what life is all about and what makes it worth living. Pure poetry from the Middle East!
