Turkish bus driver jailed for playing Kurdish recording
The brief news item and the song in question (translated) at Freemuse. Also, read a story about a ten-month sentence Turkey gave to a Kurdish musician because he performed a Kurdish song in Turkey.
That first moment that sought to document an act, an idea, a presence, an existence, a deity... that initial spark of creativity born of desire to intensify experience, enhance a space, beautify a body, paint a cave wall, decorate a tool... that first shuffling of utterances, that first gesture, that first rhythm, that first song... that was when we truly became human. --Kevin
