His new solo album “My Sunset Land Rojava” is inspired by the area popularly known as Rojava, which is the Autonomous Administration of North and East Syria and particularly the Kurdish women who
have fought and sacrificed so much for the independence of this zone in recent years. He chose the art work of Turkish-Kurdish artist Zehra Dogan for the album cover. The music ranges from fierce and bold in its opening piece a tribute to Viyan Peyman, a Kurdish Iranian woman who left her home to volunteer in the Kurdish resistance forces and lost her life in 2015 to heartbreaking laments including the final piece “Tears of Singal” which mourns the murder of thousands of Yazidis.
