Ali Do\u011fan G\u00f6n\u00fclta\u015f is an Anatolyan artist whose magnificent debut album Ki\u011f\u0131<\/em>, for which he has been working for more than ten years of field research, shows the thrill of his expressive voice, the dreamy melodies of his pieces and his self-confidence, that convinced us to support him in this new stage of his career, after the release of this album. In addition to the concert, Ali Do\u011fan can provide a workshop on rhythm and forms in Kurdish Music<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n
\nAli’s concert was a moving journey, specifically to Eastern Anatolia, but also symbolically – to any place where music seems to be above all divisions. The multitude of rhythms and languages specific to this region was not only pleasant and interesting, but also very moving. Remarkable precision, instrumental proficiency and an unforgettable voice meant that each subsequent piece seemed to be an important twist in this story, which the artist had been building for 10 years, collecting ethnomusicological data and respecting various sources.<\/p>\n

Ali Do\u011fan is a Kurdish born in Turkey. Graduated from Kocaeli University Archeology and Radio TV and Cinema departments, the musician started his professional music career with the band Ze Tij\u00ea<\/a>, of which he is one of the founders and with which he released two albums and made hundreds of concerts in Turkey.<\/p>\n
He took part as a composer, arranger and performer in the studio albums \u201cYanl\u0131\u015f\u0131m\u0131z Var!\u201d (2015) and \u201cUr\u201d (2019) released by the group that produces in postrock, collage and experimental genres. Since 2018, he has been continuing his music production with his solo concert series \u201cXo Bi Xo\u201d. This project, in which the musician includes songs in Kurmanci and Turkish as well as Zazaki, his mother tongue, has an experimental feel to it as well as traditional styles and themes.<\/p>\n
In addition, his oral history and field research studies, which he began in 2007, continue with the album “Ki\u011f\u0131”, which he released in 2022. Ki\u011f\u0131, which is also the birthplace of the musician, describes the specific musical language and style of an Anatolian\/Mesopotamian settlement.<\/p>\n
\nAli Do\u011fan G\u00f6n\u00fclta\u015f dazzles us with songs from a land that has always been a crossroads: the heart of Anatolia. Illuminating songs in Zazaiki, Kurdish, Armenian and Turkish show us the brilliant talent of an artist who has much to offer.<\/p>\n
