PanARMENIAN.Net - Aynur Dogan, one of the most popular representatives
of Kurdish culture and music in Turkey, will skip an appearance
scheduled for this week in Istanbul with the ethnic music ensemble
KardeÅ~_ Turkuler for health-related reasons, the ensemble announced.
The concert, titled "Yeni Bir Gun" (A New Day), is scheduled for the
night of September 14 at the Cemil Topuzlu Open-air Theater in Harbiye,
Today's Zaman reported.
The singer, who only goes by her first name, has "regretfully explained
that she would not be able to join" the glittering musical get-together
that will also see guest appearances by singer/songwriter Sezen Aksu,
Armenian-Turkish songwriter/percussionist Arto Tuncboyacıyan and
Armenian-American composer/musician Ara Dinkjian, according to a
written statement by KardeÅ~_ Turkuler. The statement did not further
elaborate on Dogan's health.
Aynur was going to be a major highlight of the concert, which was
going to be her first live concert appearance since mid-July, when she
was booed by an audience and forced to leave the stage after singing
a song in Kurdish at a concert as part of this year's Istanbul Jazz
Festival. Aynur's guest appearance at this week's concert was, in a
way, to serve as a "completion" for her jazz fest appearance in July,
which was also at the Cemil Topuzlu theater.
