Kurdish music & original compositions by Omid Darvish, Sakina Teyna & Salah Ammo.

"Kurdistan!" - this could be the name of the country in which the Kurds live. But this country does not exist. Kurds live (mainly) in Iran, Iraq, Syria and Turkey. The musicians who develop a sounding Kurdistan also come from these countries. It is fed by the influences of the music of their countries of origin, sounds in different languages and opens up to jazz.
With Sakina Teyna and Salah Ammo, two well-known artists from the previous year return to Imago Dei. This time, however, with a focus on their Kurdish roots.
The ensemble Kurdophone, consisting of Austrian and Iranian musicians, established a completely new musical language between Kurdish jazz and Iranian-influenced music. The distinctive dark timbre of singer and band founder Omid Darvish is, like the infectious groove, a trademark of the band Kurdophone, founded in 2017.
