Gee, I sure don't see enough music information in this thread to justify keeping it in the music section. I think I'll move it down to "BS." Some of the messages border on racism, and I may close the thread altogether if it doesn't settle down.

You speak a lot guest but you say nothing, and why you would seek to make deflamatory remarks against your fellow countrymen is a mystery to me. You say these people do not represent Kurdish music and tradition- I suggest you take a good long hard look at yourself -because all I see is resentment envy and arrogance which I am pretty sure from personal experience is not representative of your countrymen - your country may be rich that is of no consequence to this discussion, which we share remember with people who belong to the richest country in the world. I suggest you calm down and address the issues you have in a more rational manner.

Well I know Nahro and his music well, I dont think he would claim to play straight Kurdish traditional music. he's Kurdish, and he's a musician, and what he plays is his music. And he plays with western musicians too. Leave the poor lad alone, Nahro's playing his music, with his band, and trying to get gigs, same as anyone. Good for him.

I doubt they are changing your culture Guest, they may be applying it in a different way. In the UK it is not OUR culture to be seperatist or secular, some would say it is our downnfall particurlarly in keeping traditions alive, but on a more general level it is our saving grace and makes our multicultural society for the most part tolerant. I realise you come from a place where that has not happened before, but in part it makes life for you and I more tolerable. You will no doubt have come acros those who want to keep England English, who practise their brand of tradition, in a fist punch or a mouthful of abuse. Don't apply those values to yourselves and do not bad mouth your countrymen who want for the love of music, to integrate and learn about other cultures. It does not make them less proud of who they are, just as when I sing an Irish song or a Scottish ballad it makes me less English. Set your natonalistic arrogance aside and be as willing to learn as much about our culture as we want to learn about yours, which I can assure you we do. Most people here consider those musicians you talk about to be friends and proud to be Kurdish -isn't that the message you want to be spread?

So what is your solution??? are you saying they shouldn't play music at all? If people like what they play and they can earn money from it -what is the harm? The fact that it isn't authentic should not make any difference their ability or their musicianship andi nthe end people pay to hear what they like. I think it must be very frustrating for you, and I absolutely understand that you want to hang onto your cultural identity, and that is your right, but some of us just enjoy the music and you are wrong to criticize musicians who enjoy their music too, who want to bring it to us and perform it in their own way even if it isn't absolutely authentic as far as your concerned Music has its own frontiers -there is a version of Incy wincy Spider in virtually every country in Europe -it isn't German or English or Swiss its music. So please jion us in the wonderful music in and around Hull and please try to understand your musicians in a positive way. and yes, Eric the Red is stupid.

The most interesting thing about you, proud Kurdish Refugee, is that you chose Mudcat as a place to discuss Kurdish music? It is a great place to discuss it, and I am glad you have come here, as we are all very interested in folk music.
   Today I spent the day with Kurdish and other musicians in Stoke; we had a refugee event, to show the new Kurdish film "Turtles can fly", and to eat and listen to music. We all had a great time. it would have been interesting to hear what you thought of the Kurdish muscians.
   One of the musicians there, Kamran, was playing violin in the Kurdish Baq Band, but he also plays cello in the North Staffordshire Symphony Orchestra. Now, they certainly dont play Kurdish music!

Linda: the gentleman is simply saying that he objects to people falsely presenting what they play as authentic Kurdish music. Now, that is his opinion; we don't know, because we don't know who he is, whether or not it is an informed opinion.We are not ourselves Kurds or experts on Kurdish music. Our opinions really are worth very little in the circumstances (Greg knows far more than you or I about the subject, and I notice that he has been careful to refrain from value judgements).

The fact that people may enjoy the music is not the point. The gentleman has not said in this discussion that it is bad music; only that he considers it to be, essentially, fake. He objects to people telling lies about what they are doing, and I see no call to criticise him for that, or to put words into his mouth.

Perhaps he is wrong. It isn't, after all, uncommon for -for example- Irish people, when confronted with genuine Irish music from a regional tradition they aren't familiar with (or, in some cases, that isn't Country and Western), to deny vehemently that it could possibly be Irish. I've known Spaniards from different regions come nearly to blows about the "only" right way of cooking lentils.

None of that means that he doesn't have a legitimate opinion; and it is not for us to say that he isn't right. We simply don't know.

Malcolm, with respect, I know some of musicians concerned -talented musicians and composers. He has labelled them losers and moneygrabbers at the expense of his culture - which part of this is not defamatory? we may not know if this is true or not, and that may not be for us to say whether it is right or not, but neither is it for him. If we were having the same argument about the Copper family
or Eliza Carthy being proper exponents of English Traditional music, then we would all have different opinions as to the true nature of English Folk music -who is to say which of us will be right. It is different strokes for different folk dependent on where you are coming from-I wouldnt dream of saying Eliza is not English and the Coppers are---why music from Kurdistan should be different I fail to understand.

I am as yet unclear where the original poster sets out an assertion that his objection is to people (who I think may actually be Kurds) who are playing music and creating art that is not wholly Kurdish. There are two possibilities: one is that they are falsely representing that what they do is traditional, and if so then that falsehood deserves condemnation, but the other is that they make no false representation, in which case I can understand that they might wish to innovate in their art, and I would not condemn that as such.

It's very like "folk" or not. I don't necessarily dislike contemporary acoustic music, and indeed play some because I like it, but I don't call it "folk". On the other hand I may take a "folk" song, and arrange it: it's still a "folk" song but it is no longer wholly a "folk" song - compare Steeleye Span innovating in the presentation of folk.

What would be wrong would be to say that there must never be any change to music or art, or that everyone must like all types equally, or some not at all. Either of those things would be just as worthy of rebuttal as their analogues in other political arenas.

The fact that PKR has identified Nahro Zagros as one of his targets puts these posts in the realm of legitimate criticism(if a bit hostile) rather than just some kind of TROLL stuff.
    Nahro is a cosmopolitaN Kurdish muscian, familiar with other idioms as well as traditional Kurdish music. he plays with mussicians from other cultures in his band, and likes Eastern European stuff, as well as Kurdish rad, and his own stuff. Some of the Kurdish people I knw play very hardline trad, some aspire to the ubiquitous Yamaha keyboard disco sound belved of modern emigre Middle Eastern musicians everywhere. These are all different kind of music. And, as I mentioned earlier, a friend of mine called Kamran plays cello in the No Staffs Symphony orchestra, and also very tra Kurdish in the Baq Band (it's pronounced Back, I may have the spelling wrong, I've not seen it written down).
    So, lots of people, lots of kinds of music. And PKR may have a point if some of the music is presented as Kurdish trad if it isnt. If a load of English refugees arrived in Kurdistan and started setting up bands there might be a bit of dispute too. Say the local folklore festival in Kirkuk put on an English band and said it was English folk music. And say the band was actually a straightforward 12-bar Saturday night pub blues band. Then you might well find the impeccable Copper style harmony group complaining bitterly if they didn't get the gig.
   What I find interesting, to change the subject, is the validity of my own value-judgements on Kurdish music. I have recorded loads of Kurdish singers, for example. Obviously, I started having opinions quite quickly about which ones I liked better than others. Do my opinions make any sense in Kurdish terms? For a start, I hadnt much clue who was in tune and who weren't, some of the scales are so wierd. And the amount of throbbing emotion used, another criterion, is I expect much more highly valued by most Kurds than it is by me. I know that one of the singers I've recorded stands out head and shoulders above the others, to me. But does he to the other Kurds...some, or all, of them? It is very intriguing. And helps you think about your own music too. I would seriously like a chat with you, Proud Kurdish refugee, your analysis of what is going on here would be very interesting.

Proud Kurdish Refugee: you sugested in your other threads(list of messages) that I should listen to Zakariya, Hassan Sharif, Jala, and Diyar. I dont know any of those musicians, but I will certainly take your advice and try to hear them. Do you know where I could find their recordings, in England?
    I should be interested to know what you think of the following musicians, if you know them (I may have got spellings a bit wrong):
Adnan Karim(oud and singer)
Najmadin Gholami singer
Kamal Muhammed singer
(all in Sweden I think)

Ayub Ali singer in Birmingham
Tara Jaf
harp and singer in England
Goran oud in Holland

about him saying the kurdish musicians in hull are only interested in making money, thats bullshit, they play in sessions, clubs etc for fun, not to make money.

and he says flamenco ted should mind is business and keep out of it,
Ted is Nahros friend, [and also friend of plenty of local kurdish musicians, ted gave his musical instrument to a kurdish refugee]
so dont say bad things about ted, [or nahro].

A lot of people(including some on Mudcat) have quite loathsome attitudes to asylum seekers; so it's a nice thing the number of Kurdish (and other nationality) musicians who are currently playing in bands, making beautiful music, using instruments they have been given here by well-wishers. I would urge anyone who has unwanted instruments(or wanted instruments for that matter) to make them available to those in trouble who would like to play them,

F Ted: I am normally an efficient TTroll Spotter( I think), but I disagree with you here, I think our pal PKR is the real thing. I think his brand of English would be difficult to fake, even by the very talented Sir JOhn. You might say that his reference to oombanjo as a M***** F*****r is evidence that he is an aboriginal Hullite in disguise, but I know plenty of Kurds who are masters of English invective and perpared to use it! Anywaay, I am going to try and establish contact via email and see what's what...I will report back. The topic he raises, how people play their own folk music when transplanted to a completely new country, is so interesting that I think we should try and keep this chat going...
But please, Proud Kurdish refugee, if you want people to talk to you and listen to what you say, dont insult your fellow Kurdish musicians. They are doing their best. You can insult Sir JOhn, Flamenco Ted and oombanjo as much as you like, they are used to it. And it would also be good if you joined here as a member of Mudcat, then people could send you Personal Messages(PMs).

PKR: anybody who has the slightest knowledge f Kurds and their music know that plenty of Kurds play oud, and plenty of Kurds play guitar. Likewise violin. These instruments may not have been traditional to the area in the past, but they are popular now: much like violins in England.

This Flamenco Ted who is a friend of Nahro and is a good man because he gave an instrument to an asylum seeker, is he the same Ted who used to call us all "a bunch of towel heads" when he did not think I knew English? If it is him I know him. And a rich man giving £5.00 to a charity is nothing special. Is he the Ted who tried to destroy an asylum seekers' Christmas party when he said he would not play 1 week before the party? He is not with the Kurdish people. Maybe he thinks people will think he is a good man if he plays music with foreign people.

Greg is right when he says people do not know what Kurdish music is. You can change English folk music because everyone knows what English folk music is. Most English people hear a Kurdish musician for the first time and they will think he is Kurdish music, they have not heard other Kurdish music. Our scales are different and we use more modulation in our singing and playing. Again Greg is right that English people do not know when someone is out of tune in Kurdish music. We do know and that is why I speak about the people in Hull who say they are Kurdish musicians.

When an asylum seeker comes to a new country he can invent a new history for himself. Some said they were doctors but they were not. Medicine is science and you can test people. Music is art and you can not test art. If I said I was a teacher at Baghdad University and played music in the best orchestra in Iraq many English people will believe me. If I play Kurdish music badly those people will think I am playing it well. Some Kurdish musicians in Hull say they are respected all over the world when they only started playing music when they came to England. Maybe their English friends have told them to lie about themselves because some English musicians want to play with Kurdish musicians because it makes them look good and makes money. These English say they are helping asylum seekers but they are never there for us when there is a problem. They are only there when there is a party and music. And we know that one of the Kurdish "musicians" in Hull even changed his name when he came to England. You see how an asylum seeker can become a new person very easily?

Believe me, you are dealing with phoney people who have got jobs because they made friends with English people who are musicians. They do not even mix with other Kurdish people anymore, only when they are paid for playing at a party.

This threwad is pissing me off, I know Ted and Nahro, i wonder who is making this bullshit thread?

I
it is making all hull people suspicious, ie= I even thought is it Grweg Stephens?, [he saying "greg is good, Greg knows all about this stuff etc, "greg is the only nice man on this thread etc"}

now i know its not grweg, but greg thinks its Ted, it isent, why would Ted say bad stuff about his self then?


Its some bullshit bastard with a grudge against Ted [and Haro, [and me],
i talked to ted, and he used to live in Park Grove, [not Oak Grove],
and i didn;t know that till he told me, .
So that means it is someone who ted knows, but had an argue with or something, and he deciceded to case trouble, ["ted is rich, but only giv 5 pound to kurdish music charity etc"]

OK, I think it's time to close the thread. If you want a serious discussion of Kurdish music, that's fine. If you want to squabble about personal differences, take it somewhere else.
