A BRAND NEW BILINGUAL WORK COMPILED BY REWŞAN: DÎLO MALÊ MIN DÎLO

Rewşan's new single "Dîlo Malê Min Dîlo" was released on all digital platforms on Friday, 9 September 2022 at 00:00.

The artist collected the song from Doğu Beyazıt in 2014 as part of his research on cultural memory. Although the age of the song is unknown, it is known that it travelled to Çaldıran through a travelling merchant of Mesopotamia. There was a wedding in the village and this travelling merchant was a guest in the village that night. In the Serhat region, where the oral tradition is strong, weddings are celebrated with songs and klams, and everyone accompanies the songs. When the villager asks the merchant to sing a song, he sings "Dîlo Malê Min Dîlo". The source person (Ahmet Çelik, 90 years old) was one of the few people who memorised the song when the villagers loved it. The song remains in the memory of this village for years, it is not heard or recorded.

It is an extremely enjoyable song that starts in Kurdish and includes Arabic words in the chorus. "Dîlo Malê Min Dîlo" (My home is my heart) opens the doors to the vast treasures of the heart that we long for. Could the mention of "Gönül" be a depiction of a love where two tongues beat in one heart? It is not possible to know this for now, but even imagining it seems to make us love this song even more. Rewşan's song "Dîlo Malê Min Dîlo", which he has been dreaming of bringing together with his audience for a long time, is now a candidate to take place in the memory of all of us.

Hakan Gürbüz, who is acclaimed for his arrangements in the Progressive Folk style, was in the arrangement chair and master musician Cenk Erdoğan played the acoustic/electric guitars of the song. Drums were played by Ediz Hafızoğlu and strings by Istanbul Strings. Mix-mastering was done by Evren Arkman. The cover of the work, designed by Melek Boçoğlu, was exhibited among the best designs of Turkey at the 42nd Graphic Design Exhibition of GMK. Kadir Yücel is the director of the music video of the song.
