The multi-cultural group of La Chaux-de-Fonds (CH) Denge Dinan (the voice
of the madmen in Kurdish) was formed, in August, 2001, by several Swiss and
Kurdish musicians united in a musical plan centered on compositions of
Mahir Ispir, singer and player of saz native of the Kurdistan of Turkey.
Supported by an effective and powerful rhythm section (drums, percussions
and tuba), envelopped by the lyric flights of fancy of the saxophone,
accompanied by a saz sometimes unwinding waves of an infinite nostalgia,
the songs of Mahir, which draw from the sources of the traditional music of
the Kurdistan, evoke the universal topics of love, fights for freedom and
banishment.....
The music of Denge Dinan is difficult to define. It is the fruit of a collaboration
which allows each of the members to make common work with their personal
footprint. It is a crossed music with an obvious oriental character . In brief, we can speak about a form of oriental rock or ethno-rock.
PRESENTATION FR
Le groupe multi-culturel Chaux-de-Fonnier Denge Dinan (la voix des fous en kurde)
a été formé, en août 2001, par plusieurs musiciens suisses et kurdes réunis dans
un projet musical axé sur les compositions de Mahir Ispir, chanteur et joueur de saz
originaire du Kurdistan de Turquie.
Soutenues par une rythmique batterie, percussions et tuba efficace et puissante,
enveloppées par les envolées lyriques du saxophone, accompagnées par un saz
déroulant parfois des vagues d'une infinie nostalgie, les chansons de Mahir, qui
puisent aux sources de la musique traditionnelle du Kurdistan, évoquent les thèmes
universels de l'amour, des luttes pour la liberté, le déracinement.....
La musique de Denge Dinan est difficilement définissable. Elle est le fruit d'une
collaboration qui permet à chacun de ses membres, de marquer de son empreinte
personnelle l'oeuvre commune. C'est une musique métissée dont le caractère
oriental est prégnant. Pour faire court, on peut parler d'une forme de rock oriental
ou d'ethno-rock.
