„Krim-tatarische Musikzeugnisse“

A concert in the series „Klangkosmos World Music in NRW“



The project „Yusan Zillya“ unites two cultures, two languages, and two peoples – Crimean Tatar and Ukrainian folk songs are intertwined with the set verses of the Anatolian singer and poet Asik Veysel (1894-1973). The program was created by cellist Nial Khalilova and singer Natalia Rybka-Parkhomenko from the Kurbasy ensemble, which found a new place of activity at the Les Kurbas Theater in Lviv (Lemberg) after the Russian annexation of Crimea in 2014.
The Crimean Tatars belong to a Turkish-speaking ethnic group that originally lived in Crimea but was forcibly deported to Central Asia under Stalin in 1944. It was only with Ukraine's independence in 1991 that they were allowed to return to their homeland. Following the annexation in 2014, facing massive repression, many had to flee, including the musician, researcher, and composer Djemil Karikov and his daughter Nial Khalilova, who, like many others, now live in Lviv. Karikov collected numerous songs of the Crimean Tatars over decades and significantly contributed to the revival of their music tradition with the ensemble „Maqam“ that he founded. Nial Khalilova studied in Lviv and has been playing in the Lviv National Philharmonic Orchestra since 2022.



Supported by the Cultural Secretariat NRW Gütersloh and the Ministry of Culture and Science of the State of North Rhine-Westphalia.
