Dengbêj, Kurdish song, Diyarbakir, KurdistanAbstract
This photo essay was accomplished in the Diyarbakir city, in the Turkish Kurdistan, and portrays the Dengbêj, the principal cultural practice of the Kurdish people, which aims to transmit their language, myths and histories through generations. In a country where the idiom is forbidden even at schools, the Dengbêj practice, even institutionalized (since 2007, when was founded the Dengbêj House), is an act of resistance of the Kurdish people, because through these songs the Kurdish language lives and resists.
