Nizamettin Ariç
Nizamettin Ariç, Nîzamettîn Arîç, (born 1956) is a contemporary Kurdish singer, composer and director. He was born in Ağrı in Turkey.[1] He was exposed to traditional Kurdish bard music or dengbêj at an early age,[2] but until 1980 was professionally active as a singer of Turkish-language folksongs, including songs that he himself had translated from Kurdish to Turkish. In 1979, at a concert in his hometown of Ağrı, he sang a love song in Kurdish, and was arrested for spreading propaganda.[3] Upon finding he was to be sentenced to 5–15 years, he sought political asylum in Germany and has resided in Berlin since.
Even though he was unable to perform in Turkey, as music critic Orhan Kahyaoğlu notes, Nizamettin Ariç's recordings have been influential on musicians in Turkey,[4] especially Kardeş Türküler (who has covered several of his songs),[5] and film/TV music arranger Aytekin Gazi Ataş.[6] His movie A Song for Beko was one of the first films in the Kurdish language and has won 15 international awards.[7]
