Vîr | Bîr (Memory) - Vengê Ma

Описание: What is memory when it is not just personal, but collective? When it is not held in a single mind, but in the soul of a language, the rhythm of a dance, the thread of a costume, and the stones of the mountains themselves? This is "Vîr | Bîr" (Memory), a cinematic and instrumental journey into the heart of the Kurdish memory—a memory that is both a sacred inheritance and a relentless target.

This is not the simple, nostalgic memory of an individual. This is the memory of a nation, a culture that has survived for millennia through a continuous struggle for existence. It is this very memory that assimilation relentlessly targets, seeking to sever the roots that connect a people to their past. For thousands of years, this memory has been under attack from all sides—with swords and gunpowder, with poisonous gases and political ideologies, with the false brotherhood of enemies. It is a memory that has been forced to lean on the Zagros and Munzur mountains, seeking refuge in their unforgiving peaks to protect itself.

Our instrumental piece is an elegy and an anthem for this memory. The music begins with a solitary, searching melody, like a lone voice calling out across a desolate landscape, a single thread of memory in the vastness of time. It slowly, deliberately builds, layer upon layer, as the steady, powerful rhythm of a nation's heartbeat enters. The song swells into an epic, unified, and defiant climax, not as a cry of sorrow, but as a powerful affirmation: We are still here. We remember.

The accompanying music video brings this struggle to life. It tells a surreal and powerful story of a lone wanderer, a keeper of memory, who journeys through a stark landscape haunted by ghostly memories of the past—visions of sorrow and celebration, of loss and resilience. It is a visual testament to the idea that for the preservation of this memory, thousands of young saplings have fallen to the ground, and that their sacrifice nourishes the roots of what remains. This piece of #KurdishMusic is a tribute to the unyielding power of #Memory and the spirit of a people who refuse to be erased.

Join us on this profound journey into the heart of memory.

Kirmanckî (Zazaki):
"Vîr" yew eserê enstrumantal û epîk o ke xo nejdîyê vîrê şarê Kurdî keno. No vîr, vîrê yew kultur, yew ziwan û yew neteweyî yo. Bi hezaran serran o vera her tewir hêrişan xo pawito û hetanî ewro ameyo. Na xebate hurmetê nê vîrî û xoverodayîşî ya.

Kurmanjî:
