Kurdophone

Contemporary Sounds of Kurdish Music

The Ensemble Kurdophone is a cultural melting pot from Vienna and consists of five musicians from Iran and Austria. With their unique fusion of old Kurdish Iranian melodies and Western influences, they have established themselves as winners of the Creole 2 competition. They draw their musical ideas from a wide range of styles, including traditional Kurdish folk music, jazz and contemporary music.

The ensemble's instrumentation is as diverse as their cultural background: tanbur (Kurdish long-necked lute), kamanche (Iranian spiked violin), vocals, violin, piano, double bass as well as drums and percussion. Kurdophone has managed to develop a unique artistic voice that inspires and touches people. Their music is a bridge between different cultures and traditions that blend together harmoniously.
