He is also well known as a creative Kurdish kamanche (four stringed-spiked-fiddle) improviser. # Early life He was raised up in a traditional Kurdish community where the members had a tight connection to the music in their daily life. He remembers when he was seven, his father took him to the Sufi celebration events annually. In that abundant mysterious rituals, the audiences who were sitting cross-legged on the floor politely and formal sang and clapped spiritually. The group of musicians played Tambour entire night. The mythical harmonies gradually gave him the best passion he needed and brought him to the sky. Shahriyar found that the music has power and capability to change his sense more than his family members. Therefore, his routine became to listen to live music on Kurdish radio channels every night. Due political issues and eight years of war in Iran, Shahriyar did not have an opportunity to learn music until age seventeen. # Kamanche Shahriyar received his Kamanche training with celebrated musicians such as Mahmood Merati, Mojtaba Mirzadeh, Ardeshir Kamkar and Hadi Montazeri focusing on the study of Kurdish music in order to reconstruct the old songs of the Kurds, his people. # Kurdish Music and Dilan Ensemble In developing countries, the cultural capital, music, in particular, is in danger of extinction. He believes that an effective way to retain the ethnic music is to bring this type of music to daily life. He has been a professional musician for nearly thirty years. He has devoted his artistic career to the preservation and transmission of Kurdish musical heritage, attempting to recreate the classical Kurdish music in an understandable way for younger generations. Shahriyar considers this effort as a cultural bridge between past and future. In 2003, He founded the Dilan Ensemble (derived from the name of the Kurdish musician Qadir Dilan), which has since performed numerous times in Tehran and other cities of Iran. He has also performed on several well-known Kurdish TV channels including Kurdistan, Newroz, and Kurdsat, 2002-2007. # Recent Performances Since settling in Canada in 2012, Shahriyar has consistently sought new musical languages, thereby crossing cultures with his Kamanche Solo music. He has performed at International Society for Improvised Music (ISIM) in Switzerland and Canada; High-Fest in the United States; Festival du Monde Arabe de Montréal: Ontario Present; Mc Master University; 33rd World Conference of International Society for Music Education in Azerbaijan; University of Minneapolis School of Music in United State; Cello Biennial in the Netherlands; University of Glasgow, the United Kingdom; Sound Symposium XXI, and Aga Khan Museum concert series in Toronto, Canada. He collaborated with Windsor (2019) and Winnipeg Symphony Orchestra (2024) too. # Composition As a composer, Shahriyar has devoted his career to preserving the ancient music history of Kurdistan by composing and arrangement pieces for Kamanche, vocals, and orchestra. # Released He released several albums include five solo records (Alvanati (2004), Call of the Mountains (2008), A Yellow Flower (2014), The Lullaby of A Nomad (2018) and My Sunset-Land ROJAVA (2020)), and Meet Me in Tangier (2016), Kamancello (2017), Kamancello II: Voyage (2019) and Of Shadows (2020). # Awards He is also received several awards from Canada Arts Council (2018, 2024 & 2025); International Society for Music Education ISME (2018); Imagine, University of Minneapolis School of Music (2018); SOCAN Foundation (2018); Toronto Arts Council (2019) and Ontario Arts Council (2020). --- ### [Kurdish Music](https://shahriyarjamshidi.com/kurdish-music/) **Published:** January 2, 2018 **Author:** Shahriyar Jamshidi **Content:** [![Kurdish Dance, Music](https://shahriyarjamshidi.com/wp-content/uploads/2020/07/Performance_Mohamadi-Rad-136x300.jpg)](https://shahriyarjamshidi.com/wp-content/uploads/2020/07/Performance_Mohamadi-Rad.jpg)A Kurdish Woman Plays Drum By Bahauddin Mohammadi RadKurdistan (Kurds state), the cultural history and the civilization of Kurdistan date back to 3000 BC. It has been divided among five countries Turkey, Iran, Iraq, Syria, and Armenia by geographical borders. Kurdish music retells the old and sorrowful history of the people whose music has constantly served to soothe their pains and has given them hope for a better future. Kurdish music has also well influenced the above-mentioned countries’ music, representing the Kurds in the region. The music of the Kurd is based on vocal songs. In past centuries, three groups of singers, storyteller (Çîrokbêj), Minstrels (stranbêj) and Bards (Dengbêj) were considered. People in tradition lifestyle were gathering at nights and listening to the stories of the singers which were accompanied by Tembûr and audience’s clubbing. The poem was epic that mentioned the relationship between nature and human, supernatural, love and meditation under Sufism philosophy credence. Since the Islamic religion ideology developed territory in the region, the music particularly singing was the significant approach powerfully preserve the Kurdish identity, language, culture and keep them alive from new belief. That method has also been helpful to transfer music to the next generation traditionally and oral.

Ardently yearning to find their monarch, all the world’s birds gather in sonorous assembly. Guided by the hoopoe, the messenger of Solomon, the birds take wing towards the Sîmorgh, the Divine Being, who dwells on the heights of mythical Mount Qâf, on the edge of the horizon of the rising Sun. Only the hoopoe knows how long and arduous the journey will be. The birds will have to cross seven valleys, first that of the Quest, then those of Love, of Insight into Mystery, of Detachment and Serenity, of Unity, of Awe, and lastly of Poverty and Nothingness, to reach at length the Royal Throne. At first each bird, still prisoner to earthly ties, hesitates to take wing. So the hoopoe tells each bird a parable, a tale within a tale urging each winged creature to cast aside its worldly goods, loves and certainties, to give up its ego in order to undertake the journey. For at the end of the path rises the Sun-like Beloved Being. This Performance has been first created in its English version for the Sufi Festival of Jodhpur and Nagaur 2015. **Event Categories:** Events --- ### [ISIM Festival 2015 - International Society for Improvised Music](https://shahriyarjamshidi.com/event/isim-festival-2015-international-society-for-improvised-music/) **Published:** January 11, 2018 **Author:** Shahriyar Jamshidi **Content:** Shahriyar Jamshidi has performed the Kamanche Solo “Zagros” at the Temple of Château-d’Oex in an amazing village on Alps Mountains on July 11, 2015.

Kurdish kamāncha player Shahriyar Jamshidi improvised a piece at his live performance at D.F. Cook Recital Hall, Memorial University of Newfoundland, Canada during his residency at Sound Symposium XXI in 2024. The Kurdish musical system is part of the West Asian and ancient Mesopotamian culture engrained in microtonal music, which has spread across the vast area of the region across the Zagros mountains crossing Iraqi and Turkish borders through central Asia – the area is called Kurdistan. The vocal melodies have the main role in structuring the Kurdish themes and modes (Maqams). “Elawaysî” (Alavaysi) Mode was born and polished in [Xaneqîn (Khanaqin)](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Khanaqin) “Başûr” (Southern Kurdistan) in Iraq. Elawaysî presents the major modal scale’s texture with the main view of the minor mode. Elawaysî mode is part of the special Kurdish modes’ group called Elwenatî (Alwanati) modes related to the name of the Alwand river from the same area. Elwenatî vocal group had a potential role in extending other modes in Başûr and “Rojhelat” Eastern Kurdistan in Iran shaping the Kurdish classical vocal and instrumental music styles there. **Video Categories:** Videos --- ### [Pomegranate Seeds [My Sunset-Land ROJAVA Official © 2020]](https://shahriyarjamshidi.com/video/pomegranate-seeds-my-sunset-land-rojava-official-2020/) **Published:** June 13, 2020 **Author:** Shahriyar Jamshidi **Content:** # “My Sunset-Land, ROJAVA” is retelling the tale of a heart-sore nomad (a Kamanche) from Kurdistan, where tunes are born in her every brief stop she takes for a nap while passing the unwanted confines of the torn land of the Kurds.

Each of them has a documented story and wants to tell it. Their language may be simple for the ears but not for the heart. Composing music that faithfully describes their feelings was not easy for me, perhaps it will never be, and so in each stage of AMATA SIRIA I ask my colleagues, musicians from various cultures, for help. The thing that always amazes me is the amount of feelings that this colleagues pour through their instruments. With pleasure, I would like to share with you an example. يَحوي الفيديو التالي لَوحة بعنوان “بَيتٌ في القَلب” مِن عرض “الحبيبة سورية” أبطالها مَجموعةَ أطفالٍ سوريّين لَجَؤوا إلى دولِ جوار عدّة، لِكُلّ طِفلٍ مِنهم قِصّة موثّقة؛ هُم أنفسهم يَروون قِصَصهم بِلُغَةِ عيونِهِم المفهومة؛ يَقولونَ ما يَسهلُ “سَماعه” أذُناً ويَشُقّ على القَلبِ وَقعاً… لم يكن تأليف ما يليق بمشاعرهم مهمّة سهلة بالنسبة لي، لذا في كل عرض خلال هذه اللوحة أرجو زملائي الموسيقيّين من مختلف الثقافات مشاركتي المهمّة تاركاً لهم حرّيّة التعبير. وأكثر ما يفاجئني هو فيض مشاعرهم التي يعبّرون عنها عبر آلاتهم المنفردة. بامتنان أودّ الاستماع معكم على هذه العيّنة. I protagonisti del seguente movimento “casa nel cuore” dalla performance AMATA SIRIA sono bambini siriani rifugiati nei Paesi limitrofi. Ognuno di essi ha una storia documentata e vuole raccontarla. Il loro linguaggio potrebbe risultare semplice per le orecchie ma non per il cuore. Comporre musica che descriva fedelmente i loro sentimenti non è stato facile per me, forse non lo sarà mai, perciò in ogni tappa della performance chiedo aiuto ai miei colleghi musicisti di varie culture. La cosa che mi stupisce sempre è la quantità di sentimenti che versano i colleghi attraverso i loro strumenti. Con piacere vorrei condividere un esempio. ### Violin I: Wanes Moubayed – Jessica Hanna Deutsch ### Violin II: Georgia Hathaway – Iman Abdulrazzak ### Viola: Aysel Taghi-Zada – Emilie Gelinas-Noble ### Cello: Raphael Weinroth Brown – Beth Silver ### Double Bass: Justin Grey ### Piano: Cheryl Duvall ### Clarinet: Majd Sekkar ### Oud: Radwan Atalebi ### **Kamanche: Shahriyar Jamshidi** ### Percussion: Tyler Cunningham – Ali Massoudi Narrator: Ahmed Moneka ### Composer & Conducto: Nahel Al Halabi ### Live recording at Aga Khan Museum – Toronto, Canada, March 6, 2020. **Video Categories:** Videos --- ### [FINO A QUANDO (until when), AMATA SYRIA -Nahel Al Halabi | Aga Khan Museum Concert](https://shahriyarjamshidi.com/video/fino-a-quando-until-when-amata-syria-nahel-al-halabi-aga-khan-museum-concert/) **Published:** May 25, 2020 **Author:** Shahriyar Jamshidi **Content:** # AMATA SIRIA features local musicians performing in the western classical tradition in harmony with the eastern kamancheh. التسيجل الحي على خشبة مسرح متحف الآغا خان في تورونتو (كندا) بتاريخ 6 آذار/مارس 2020.

This album is a collection of classical and contemporary Kurdish poems. He tries to alter recognized rhythms through sequences of non-redundant asymmetric segments to deliver both the poet’s and the composer’s perception. The concept is more significant and the melodies are inspired by a sense of social circumstances. Specifically, in the two songs “La Bar Darga” and “Goli Zard”, contemporary poems by Abdulla Pashiw, the composer intended to narrate the concept of these two tales musically. Furthermore, the singer, Kaveh Baban repeats some phrases from the poems to highlight the concept of the story. His fluency in his mother tongue, Sorani Kurdish, in addition to his talent is the key for excellent expression of the poems which all are written in Sorani Kurdish as well. This album is an orchestral ensemble for Kamanche to build a bridge between Iranian classical music forms and Kurdish music themes. This work is written for a Kamanche ensemble in the absence of the other musical instruments. An individual Kamanche part does not have an independent melodic identity but supports and balances the others. The Pizzicato technique represents rhythm and completes the harmonic distance of the other Kamanche lines. Indeed, the composer tries to introduce the pizzicato technique for Kamanche in a different style. The Alto part either supports the group by long tones in bass range or plays the main melody. The second part of Kamanche has a completely different role in the ensemble and adds new themes. Percussions are the essential members of the group. However, they do not contrast in orchestra and do not play normal rhythm; they create new colors. Udu with its unique song has a special character when it accompanies the Kamanche group. The vocal part in Kurdish music requires singers to have a wide range of voice that helps them to be able to perform accurately in Kurdish Maqam. Most parts of this work have a low tempo which require the singer to slowly sing the long tones. The singer of this album, Kaveh Baban, performs Kurdish lyrics properly and confidently.

In this album, Kamanche retells dramatically the story of a decamping person who is on the way of a pathless future. Shahriyar has been trying to bring to the listeners his longstanding experience of the distinctive capability of the Kamanche as well as the taste of his culture with melodies he created in improvisation session. Besides, Shahriyar is known as a Kurdish Kamanche player from Iranian Kurdistan. He always mentions “I was so lucky receiving a gift to be born in Kurdish community and risen in the fascinating cultural surrounding in the Kurdish city Kermanshah, Western part of Iran.” Recording, Mixing, and Mastering: Alireza Javaheri, Tehran, Iran – July 2018 Photo and cover-page design: Roxana Khoshravesh Kamanche: Shahriyar Jamshidi Fall 2018 Toronto, Canada **Album Categories:** Instrumental, Kurdish, World --- ### [My Sunset-Land ROJAVA](https://shahriyarjamshidi.com/album/my-sunset-land-rojava/) **Published:** June 12, 2020 **Author:** Shahriyar Jamshidi **Content:** # In a glance, the shiny blue sky of my childhood ## was under the murky shadow of politicized society while I was gradually rooting in the Kurdish tradition, the marginalized culture in one of the diverse West Asian countries, Iran. But music was the alternative to remote the feeling of being sidelined in this not grateful place, to avoid being under the magnetism of politic, a part of routines under this complex situation. Even life has strongly pushed me to step on the edge of distinctions between reality and equivocation, entirely influencing my future artistic view to observe the concrete facts but reflect through my art. In the past decades, revolutionary waves of modernity and democracy have spread the belief of equality rapidly in the area by mobalized women’s endeavors who devoted their lives for change. ## “My Sunset-Land, ROJAVA” is retelling the tale of a heart-sore nomad (a Kamanche) from Kurdistan, where tunes are born in her every brief stop she takes for a nap while passing the unwanted confines of the torn land of the Kurds. Every morning before sunrise settles, Kamanche abandons the spot leaving a newborn Strān (song)… The song “Viyan” retells the life of a Kurdish Iranian woman, Viyan Peyman (Gülistan Tali Cinganlo), a teacher, a singer, and a storyteller (Dengbêj). Leaving school and all attachments behind, she joined the story of resistance fighters in Syria and lost her life to defend Rojava in 2015. “Tears of Şingal (Sinjar)” remembers another dark event in the 21st century, the genocide of Yazidis in Iraq, where over 5000 civilians have been massacred leaving hundreds of liberating resistance fighters fell on the ground. *Says the Kurdish poet Abdulla Pashew in his piece* ## ***“Unknown soldier”*** *People bring flowers to the unknown soldier’s tombs.* *If tomorrow* *One comes to my homeland \[Kurdistan\]* *And asks where the anonymous soldiers’ tombs are?* *I would say my dear:* *Every riverside* *On the steps of every mosques* *Near any home, church, or cave entrance* *On the big rocks of any mountain* *On the trees of any garden of this land* *Everywhere on the ground, under this sky* *Please bow down* *And leave your bucket flower. ## Credits: Releases June 19, 2020 Music & Kamanche: Shahriyar Jamshidi Recording and mixing: L.

And I sang this line—what became the chorus—and pitched it up just to hear what it would sound like in a different key. I ended up kind of getting addicted to the way it sounded, so I wrote an entire song around this pitched-up vocal loop, basically. It’s pretty funny, because I was surprised that people were so shocked by it. I feel like it’s really common to hear a pitched voice in music now, but I guess because people are just so used to my voice, a lot of them were just like, ‘Why would you do that?!’ But the thing that’s so fun about pitching your voice when you’re already a singer is that it’s the same tone, you just change the quality of it. So you get to have these different voices suddenly, which, as somebody who has one single instrument, is a fun project to do.” # **Interlude I** “I felt like I needed to have some interludes because, to be honest, I wrote so many songs that were so intense and I just felt like people needed a break. When I first mastered this record, it was two or three songs longer, and I went back months later and cut some more songs—I was like, ‘This is just too much!’ A lot of the songs have pretty heavy arrangements, so I just needed to create some space.” # **Messiah** “To me, this song is about my ideal partnership. It describes what the perfect partnership could look like—like, accepting your imperfections and just being in a relationship with somebody where neither person is dominant, and where you’re able to maintain your individuality and walk beside each other, rather than one person leading the other. After my toxic relationship, I did enter a new relationship, and that was the inspiration for ‘Messiah.’ But then that relationship ended a few months ago, so I really am spinning back to the beginning of ‘Anywayz.’ Such is life!” ## [HiRUDiN By Austra](https://www.discogs.com/release/15275097-Austra-Hirudin) ## Canada, 2020 **Album Categories:** Electronic --- ### [Kamancello](https://shahriyarjamshidi.com/album/kamancello/) **Published:** October 13, 2017 **Author:** Shahriyar Jamshidi **Content:** # “One comes away from this debut awed by how deeply connected the musicians are, and the fact that the album was recorded live with no editing makes the accomplishment all the more impressive.

Once the darkness of the night takes its toll, nothing is left but the cold pile of ashes of time. In the heart trembling darkness that consumes all, a lonely voyager searches with all the hopes of a man of desert beneath the deepest ashes for the warm spark of the last remnants of the fire… Life blazes through that small flicker of fire. The legends of the enchantments of Zoroaster still linger in the grieving hearts of the Fire Temples upon the lonely heights of Zogros Mountains. The vivacious chorus of life, love and the whispered worships of the people of the Sun, still runs through the ceaseless veins of river Alvand and Sirvan. In this piece, with dedication to the Kurdish origins and traditional Persian music, a revolutionary presentation has been made through improvisional instrument playing in an exceptional method; with liberate and alteringthemes of sonority in Kamanche. In some pieces, Kamanche appears in petite and ephemeral figures based on Kurdish themes accompanied with percussion, resembling the natural yet hoarse sounds of the gypsy players of past generation. The rhythm, unlike what has been presented up to date, has been pre-determined; the creative mingle of sounds and assortment of several percussions is evident in some parts. Caution has been taken as to avoid any recurrence of archetypal, tedious rhythms and instead replaced by duets with melodic instruments such as a tête-à-tête between the melody and the rhythm causes the Kamanche and the percussions to merge together. ## CREDITS: Percussions: Mohsen Badri Kamancheh: Shahriyar Jamshidi Recording, Mixing and Mastering: Kaveh Abedin [Saba Studio](https://www.saba-studio.com) Tehran, Iran (2006) **Album Categories:** Instrumental, Kurdish, World --- ### [Meet Me in Tangier](https://shahriyarjamshidi.com/album/meet-me-in-tangier/) **Published:** November 14, 2016 **Author:** Shahriyar Jamshidi **Content:** # Three tracks of the Meet Me in Tangier album are the brief conversation between Guitar, Kamanche and Percussion based on Afro Middle-Eastern themes from [Maghreb](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Maghreb). “I attended the conference [International Society for Improvised Music ISIM](https://improvisedmusic.org) in Chateau d’oex, Switzerland and have met Richard Robeson there, he was the executive director of the ISIM.

The Toronto-based duo recorded the set live at Union Sound Company in April 2016, with the material, as with previous Kamancello releases, wholly improvised and unedited. Interestingly, *Of Shadows* could have been titled *Kamancello III: Voyage II*, given that the release’s 2019 predecessor also featured live material from that 2016 date. As before, the level of telepathy between the two is remarkable; as impressive is how convincingly the six improvisations on the forty-six-minute (digital-only) release could pass for live treatments of formally composed pieces. Though both observations were made of the earlier releases, they bear worth repeating when they apply as strongly to *Of Shadows*. Weinroth-Browne’s playing is marked by finesse and refinement, but he’s also capable of giving his sound a rawness to match the sonorities of his partner’s four-stringed spike-fiddle. There are many things that make Kamancello’s music appealing, its propulsive drive for one. Bookending the recording, “Beyond the Gate” and “Towards the Inevitable” push forward with determination, the players’ instruments coiling around one another and conveying ecstasy. In “The Rider” and elsewhere, the two show themselves masters of call-and-response, a strategy that naturally works effectively in an improvised context when it helps lend structural coherence to a performance. It doesn’t hurt either that the respective cry produced by their instruments invites comparison to the human voice, settings such as “To Mourn” and “Dance of Shadows” benefiting in that regard when the supplications expressed by the two are so powerful. That both instruments can be bowed and plucked also allows for a presentation richer in contrast and dynamics than it might be otherwise. Admittedly, *Of Shadows* doesn’t depart dramatically from the sound and style of the first two Kamancello sets, but I’m betting fans wouldn’t want it any other way. This latest chapter again offers listeners a chance to swoon, leave the world behind, and bask in the glow of the duo’s transcendent sound. In addition to partnering in Kamancello, both musicians have released solo albums, with Weinroth-Browne’s *Worlds Within* issued in early 2020 and Jamshidi’s arriving four months later. Like the cellist’s, his *My Sunset-Land ROJAVA* (available in digital and CD formats) shows that the music the two create can be just as compelling when presented individually. Much of Jamshidi’s professional energy has gone towards the preservation and transmission of the Kurdish musical heritage, and *My Sunset-Land ROJAVA* is consistent with that. The release structures itself around the story of a nomad from Kurdistan, who creates a song when she stops to take a nap before resuming her journey; one presumes, then, that the nine pieces are intended to represent the material she’s written during her travels. Additional detail accompanies a few tracks. Jamshidi titled the opening “Viyan,” for example, in memory of Viyan Peyman (birth name Gülistan Tali Cinganlo), a Kurdish-Iranian teacher and folk singer who joined the resistance fighters in Syria but lost her life while fighting ISIS in 2015. With only a single instrument in play, the sound is generally sparse, which bolsters its intimate quality. Multi-tracking is downplayed for the sound of the kamanche played in real-time (a seeming exception is “Tears of Singal (Sinjar)” where multiple instruments resound). It proves to be enough: as earlier noted, the instrument’s vocal-like cry lends itself perfectly to a sorrowful setting such as “Midnightish,” but it’s able to convey joy too; in prefacing its fiddling with an oud-like intro, “Dersim” also illustrates the range of sounds that can be sourced from the kamanche. Enhancing the release’s appeal is its oscillation between plaintive, introspective meditations and spirited uptempo numbers. “Viyan” roars from the gate, for instance, at the album’s start, its dynamism abetted by its seven beats-to-the-bar rhythm and the insistent sawing of the fiddle; “Pendar (Figment),” on the other hand, induces a degree of delirium in its hoedown-styled dance treatment. Finally, *My Sunset-Land ROJAVA* is definitely a complementary recording to *Of Shadows*, given its stylistic character and forty-nine-minute running time, even if Jamshidi recorded his at Revolution Recording in Toronto rather than in a live concert setting. ## August 2020 ## [Textura](https://www.textura.org) **Press Categories:** Releases **Press Tags:** Album, My Sunset-Land ROJAVA, Review, Textura --- ### [My Sunset-Land ROJAVA | Canuckistan Music](https://shahriyarjamshidi.com/press/my-sunset-land-rojava-canuckistan-music/) **Published:** August 6, 2020 **Author:** Shahriyar Jamshidi **Content:** # Jamshidi outlines the album’s narrative: “In my story, Kamancheh is a nomad Kurdish girl who crosses boundaries; between her stops, the new songs are born. ## The first metric movement ‘Viyan’ opens the gate for the solo performances. They continue to tell the story of *My Sunset-land ROJAVA* by moving through the spaces (modes) in each improvisation track until the last melancholy movement in 3/8 lands the album to the end, and Kamancheh joins the mourning with whispering a Dengbeji (storytelling) melody on the D string until fading out. Yet, Kurdistan is not free from the circle!” *My Sunset-Land ROJAVA* is the name of the third solo album by Kurdish-Canadian kamancheh player, composer and vocalist Shahriyar Jamshidi. Jamshidi is a well-known multicultural artist with an impressive career performing traditional Kurdish and Iranian music. His creative and masterful improvisations on the kamancheh visualize the story of Kurdistan through the mirror of Rojava (which in Kurdish means “where the sun sets”). *My Sunset-Land ROJAVA* is the author’s dedication to the women in that northern Syrian region who fought and sacrificed themselves for freedom from Islamic State. “The sadness of this music reflects the sorrows of Kurds from tortures and massacres,” Jamshidi explained to CM. “Indeed, by this music, I have tried to make a bridge between listeners and the title to awaken listeners’ sympathy.” The nine pieces on *My Sunset-Land ROJAVA* can be placed into two categories: composed pieces and improvised pieces. The composed music (‘Viyan’ and ‘Tears of Shingal’) was created separately as pre-designed music in different times and situations, while the remaining seven pieces present the connection between the seven inherent improvisations. The improvisational portion is based on Kurdish modal music, which to Jamshidi demonstrates “the vast microtonal modes from Kurdish Iranian-Iraqi borders, through Kurdish musical ambiances and the link to Kurdish Turkish-Armenian modes.” With the opening piece, ‘Viyan’, Jamshidi remembers Kurdish-Iranian singer Viyan Peyman, a Dengbej (storyteller) and teacher who left her hometown and all her belongings to join the resistance in Rojava and lost her life in 2015. Jamshidi describes ‘Viyan’ as a “technical and rhythmic piece…the conversation between the upper and lower parts of the kamancheh and the extension of the figurative phrases in adventuring the inspiring moments, using the irregular time signature, and moving on different positions at a fast tempo speed.” The story of the fight for Rojava’s land continues through other deep, meaningful titles like ‘Rojhelat’ or ‘Amordad’. The final pieces ‘Dersim’ and ‘Tears of Shingal’ represent memories of two unfortunate events: “the Alevi-Zaza Kurds massacre in Turkey (1937-1938) \[and\] the genocide of Yazidis in the mount of Sinjar in Iraq.” The closing ‘Tears of Shingal’ is a mixed theme inspired by Kurdish Yazidi musical folklore from northern Kurdistan in Turkey and Armenia. Jamshidi outlines the album’s narrative: “In my story, Kamancheh is a nomad Kurdish girl who crosses boundaries; between her stops, the new songs are born. The first metric movement ‘Viyan’ opens the gate for the solo performances. They continue to tell the story of *My Sunset-land ROJAVA* by moving through the spaces (modes) in each improvisation track until the last melancholy movement in 3/8 lands the album to the end, and Kamancheh joins the mourning with whispering a Dengbeji (storytelling) melody on the D string until fading out. Yet, Kurdistan is not free from the circle!” The Kurdish modal music system (which is characterized by microtonal scales) is the backbone of all the musical material here. The album’s technical aspects are based on the unique techniques of the kamancheh instrument itself: crossing, double stops, drone, glissando and portamento (the latter one of the primary methods for expressing emotions on solo playing). Finally, considering that *My Sunset-Land ROJAVA* is inspired by the gender equality of Kurdish women who took the fight for justice into their own hands, it is essential to note that the album’s visual representation is *Untitled. Triptych 1*, visual artist and activist Zehra Dogan’s painting from her Clandestine Days period (during which she spent five months in 2017 hiding out in Istanbul). “I felt this image would be matched with my title Rojava and the elements of the story: women, the four divided lands of Kurdistan, cultural revolution in the area, and the unrest of the Kurds. With this album, I have tried to reflect the reality of recent conflicts in Kurdistan and the voices of women in the mirror of my music on the kamancheh, the sorrowful instrument whose songs pass the boundaries, wishing to transfer the cultural messages of Kurds peacefully to every listener.” Reviewed By: [Harun Zulić](https://www.harunzulic.com/biography "Harun Zulić, Music theorist & Writer") [Canuckistan Music](http://www.canuckistanmusic.com "Canukistan Music") August 5, 2020 **Press Categories:** Releases **Press Tags:** Canuakistan Music, Instrumental Music, My Sunset-Land ROJAVA, Review --- ### [Kemaçe û cello bi Kemancello gihiştin hev | Yeni Ozgur Politika (Kurdish)](https://shahriyarjamshidi.com/press/kemace-u-cello-bi-kemancello-gihistin-hev-yeni-ozgur-politika-kurdish/) **Published:** May 12, 2020 **Author:** Shahriyar Jamshidi **Content:** # Cara yekê, kom sala 2015´an di Festîvala Cihana Ereb a Montrealê de bi navê Kamancello derkete ser dikê.

Shahriyar continue : *“Les femmes, l’instrument de musique Kamânche et le Rojava : ces trois aspects forment ensemble un triangle pour maintenir le thème du Rojava”.* Particulièrement, le titre *“Tears of Şingal (Sinjar)”* rappelle une des plus sombres tragédie du 21ème siècle, le génocide des Yézidis en Irak, où plus de 5000 civils ont été massacréEs laissant des centaines de combattants libérateurs ensuite tombés au sol. Rappelons que milles femmes ont été prises et revendues comme esclaves par Daech. Encore un lien concret avec Zehra qui fut la première journaliste à se rendre à Sinjar pour rencontrer ces femmes. Pendant ce temps là le monde détournait le regard du sort des femmes yézidies.

Kurds have been living on the land they call home now for thousands of years. After WW1 and the fall off the Ottoman Empire, the British and French promised Kurds they could continue to reside in those areas peacefully because they intended to create a country called Kurdistan. They went back on that promise and carved up the Kurdish homeland with the creation of some new countries, meaning that the Kurdistan was split between Iraq, Iran, Turkey, and Syria. All four of those countries have persecuted their Kurdish populations ever since. Turkey has committed the worst atrocities during that time, and up until recently, the Kurdish language, Kurdish names, and more were all banned. Turkey even refuses to call the people Kurds, and refers to them as “Mountain Turks” – a slur designed to brand Kurdish people as barbaric and uneducated. Thousands of Kurds lost their lives during the 80s and 90s fighting against their Turkish oppressions, and yet the situation barely improved. During the first Gulf War, the US encouraged Kurds to rise up against Saddam Hussein, but then failed to protect them when they did, resulting in thousands being murdered with chemical weapons. Cue the 2003 invasion of Iraq. When the US, UK and other Western countries invaded Iraq, Kurds fought alongside the allies, and against Saddam’s army. They managed to create an autonomous region in Iraq because of it. When ISIS began grabbing mass amounts of land in Iraq, the Kurds fought back with allied assistance and stamped them out. When ISIS started taking land and murdering thousands in Syria, the Syrian President Assad ordered his army to leave the region and he left millions of Kurds there to die. They would have done too if it weren’t for the assistance of coalition air strikes and weapons that allowed them to push ISIS back and carve out another autonomous region in their homeland. That region is Rojava. The people there live under a system called Democratic Confederalism which is based on workers’ rights, equality, feminism, and ecology. In principal, this version of democracy is far more democratic than any system used in a Western country today. The Kurds didn’t want to team up with the US in Syria, they just didn’t want to die, and they were left with no option after being abandoned by Assad. Now the US has abandoned the Kurds and left them to die too. They’re no longer “useful” and heaven forbid America is seen to be assisting a people who don’t bow to the international banking cartel, and are determined to live in a real democracy. The US said it wanted to bring “democracy” to the Middle East, but not THAT sort of democracy. Assad and Russia refuse to back Kurds now because they worked with the US instead of being murdered. And Turkey (the biggest oppressor of the Kurdish people, and the country that literally funded ISIS) has invaded their land with one of the largest armies in NATO with the intention of ethnic cleansing, genocide and freeing ISIS prisoners. The Kurdish people just can’t win. Every major global power uses them when it suits their agenda, and then they feed them to the wolves. The US won’t stand up for the Kurds. The Syrian Government won’t stand up for them, and neither will Iran or Russia. That is why every single person with a heart reading this must raise their voice now! There’s an old Kurdish saying that goes: “NO FRIENDS BUT THE MOUNTAINS” Please show our Kurdish brothers and sisters that isn’t true. Do everything you can. I beg you.

The instrument’s size and bow technique compare to the cello, but that’s where the similarities stop. Luckily, cello player Raphael Weinroth-Browne is familiar with the instrument. “I was fortunate to be exposed to it from a young age. My dad listened to a lot of Persian music and we listened to it on campus radio. When I found out about Shahriyar I wanted to get in touch and try playing together,” said Weinroth-Browne. The pair believe they’re the only duo with this configuration — and their shows are improvised. “We just work from scratch,” said Weinroth-Browne. “What’s different for us is that we have elements that are scripted and we’re alternating between the completely spontaneous and scripted.” Franz “trolled” the duo online and invited them to come to Windsor to play with the WSO. “I love this concept of east meets west and I’m always looking for ways to bring things together in a different way,” said Franz. For Weinroth-Browne, he said it was important as an artist to try new things. “The main idea was to capture all the elements of what we do in this context in a cohesive format,” said Weinroth-Browne. At some points during the concert, the regular orchestra plays a background and the duo improvise on top of that bed of music.
