Aynur

One of the biggest voices in Kurdish music and her gifted ensemble return to London to present her acclaimed album Rabe, a culmination of over two decades of artistic evolution.

Since her last performance at the EFG London Jazz Festival in 2023, Aynur released Rabe (meaning ‘stand-up’ or ‘rise-up’ in Kurdish), which explores themes of love, spirituality, and freedom. Securing the number one position on the Transglobal World Music Chart last year, it is described by Songlines Magazine as “one of her strongest albums”.

Aynur's impressive voice and extraordinary musical narration represent the Kurdish music heritage of her cultural roots as a global genre. Her unique voice infuses traditional Kurdish folk music with the contemporary sensibility of Western music. Over the past 25 years, she has created a timeless musical language, combining the treasures of Kurdish traditions with modern arrangements that connect generations and cultures. Don’t miss your chance to see this multi award winning cultural icon.
