Kurdish Folk Music Concert With Suna Alan in Manchester

We invite you all to a Kurdish Folk Music concert featuring Suna Alan accompanied by talented musicians. We are also delighted to announce a special guest performance by Ioannis Panagoulias.

In addition to the music, the evening will feature traditional Kurdish dance, bringing even more vibrancy and cultural richness to the event.

Join us for an evening of Kurdish folk songs, ranging from the Ottoman era to the present day, along with their touching stories, and experience the dynamic rhythms and movements of Kurdish dance.

SUNA ALAN is a Kurdish Alevi singer based in London. She grew up in traditional Kurdish dengbêj (*bard) music and a rich cosmopolitan cultural environment in Izmir, Turkey 🇹🇷. Although her main focus remains Kurdish folk songs, her repertoire also includes Armenian, Greek, Arabic, Sephardic and Turkish songs. The UK-based creative journalism platform Brush & Bow featured Suna's portrait as part of the "Women Role Models Project" in 2018. Suna took the stage at Southbank Centre as part of the "Women in Music" concert series; and performed at Royal Albert Hall as part of Solidarity Ensemble to raise funds for Turkey & Syria earthquake survivors. Taking part in the SOAS Kurdish Band and SOAS Rebetiko Band projects formed by SOAS University, one of the important music schools in the UK, Suna has been performing in many concerts and festivals in the UK and abroad.
