In a compelling demonstration of cultural solidarity Mikail Aslan and Oğuz Aksaç, celebrated voices in their respective fields of music, have performed a duet in Turkey, blending Kurdish-Zazaki and Turkish-Anatolian folk traditions. This artistic collaboration aims to foster fellowship of two peoples despite the growing anti-Kurdish racism in the region.
Renowned for their profound musical and vocal skills, Aslan and Aksaç each performed songs in the other’s language, delivering a message of unity and spiritual introspection. Their lyrics often delve into Sufi-spiritual themes, critiquing materialism and highlighting that true happiness is derived from existential peace rather than wealth.
This performance not only showcases the duo’s exceptional talent but also serves as a reminder of the unifying power of music in times of division and strife.
