A Composer\/Singer based in London, Miss Aygul Erce is the Joan Baez of
\nKurdistan. Professor H. I. Pilikian has produced a video clip for YouTube of
\none of the most melodious of Miss Erce’s protest Songs, with lyrics in two
\nversions – in Kurdish and Turkish, both subtitled in the English language.\u0569\u0082\u0539\u00a0\u0569\u0082\u0539\u00a0<\/p>\n
The narrative of the song is based on a true Turkish newspaper story, when a
\nyoung Kurdish student was arrested and imprisoned in Turkey for merely being
\nat a … bus-stop, by chance, on the route of a political demonstration.\u0569\u0082\u0539\u00a0\u0569\u0082\u0539\u00a0<\/p>\n
The scarf Miss Erce is wearing (the title of her Song Pushi does mean Scarf)
\nin the video clip is a reference to the famous Palestinian fashion-item
\nsymbolizing simultaneously the struggle of the Palestinian youth (the
\nIntifada) for freedom and democracy.<\/p>\n
Miss Erce’s composition is hauntingly melodious and easily memorable.\u0569\u0082\u0539\u00a0 One
\ncan never have enough of hearing it\u0569\u0082\u0539\u00a0 many times over …<\/p>\n
