(Winternights programme)
Like a tree, I am always filled with water
With you I’m always filled with water, like a leaf…
A poem?
Time to reach for the stars.
People say so many things about every living being.
A song?
The song is beautiful. It touches my heart.
Studio version please, urgently.
Ah. Comments.
These are the kinds of things written under videos by Roleda. No surprise—Roleda (Ynus Bilir) sings with astonishing beauty.
I hope Kurdish music will shine in the sky like a star.
Roleda is a composer and performer of Kurdish origin. He is creating a work inspired by an ancient Sumerian story about a man who builds a boat and survives a great flood. A story you might know in a later, biblical form. On 12 and 13 December, Roleda performs No Borders on the Water in the attic of Batterijstraat 48.
