TRANSGLOBAL WORLD MUSIC CHART: JULY 2024

The first place of the July Transglobal World Music Chart belongs to the trio Ali Doğan Gönültaş and his album “Keyeyî”.

Ali Doğan Gönültaş, the rising star on the Kurdish music scene, was born in Kiğı, a mountainous land in Eastern Anatolia, in a family for which, as most of the Alevi ones, music is an essential way of transmitting the history of his people. Often, around a table. The mothers’ tables.

“Keyeyî” means homes in Zazakî, the mother tongue of Ali. In words of the artist, “the album emerged from the sounds of the places I was born into and became aware of. I needed to return home to remember and remind. Home is not only an address for me, but also a state of feeling and meaning. It is more than just a space with walls, rooms and windows, it is a state of joy, mourning, expression in different languages.”
