Aynur Dogan is one of the most iconic and influential figures in Kurdish cultural heritage today. With a voice that moves deeply and an artistic heaviness that reaches far beyond national borders, she has for decades built bridges between deeply rooted folk music traditions and contemporary, global clans -- and the result is both timeless and deeply personal. We are honored to introduce Aynur when ALICE presents her in Amager Bio in November.

During his 25-year career, Aynur Dogan has reshaped the musical landscape by blending the deep-rooted traditions of Kurdish folk music with contemporary Western clang. Her interpretations of Kurdish and Alevitian traditions are borne of a rare artistic integrity, with each note exuding history, longing and resilience. At the same time, she manages to open up the music and make it both timeless and relevant for a global audience.

Aynur's artistic range is reflected in her many collaborations with international capacities such as Yo-Yo Ma and the Silk Road Ensemble, Kayhan Kalhor and the NDR Big Band, as well as she has played on Roskilde Festival's Orange stage with Den Sorte Skole. Here she unfolds her voice in new contexts and shows how tradition can be a living, changeable expression. Her musical journey has also been portrayed in acclaimed documentaries and hailed in leading media worldwide. With awards such as the WOMEX Artist Award and the Master of Mediterranean Music Award, Aynur has been recognized not only for her artistic work, but also for her persistent commitment to preserving and renewing a cultural heritage under pressure. When she walks on stage, it is with an almost magnetic presence, bringing the audience together in a shared, sensuous experience. We are honored to present a rare concert with Aynur in Amager Bio for November. The concert is seated.

Said about Aynur:

“Dit is for her long-term dedication to the preservation and innovation of Kurdish and Alevi culture, for maintaining the highest artistic integrity in the face of political pressure and, in doing so, for being a model for all that sing against the silencers, that Aynur Doğan is a very worthy recipient of the WOMEX 21 Artist Award.” — WOMEX 2021
“She's a reason to love live music for centuries.” — Javier Limón
