Danûk, a group of exiled Middle Eastern musicians, comes together in
debut album Morîk to reignite a shared consciousness of the value of homeland through the discovery of centuries-old sounds. The album was produced by Michael League (Snarky Puppy) with the support of the British Arts Council, in 4-time Grammy Award-winning League's Studio 20.
Danûk manifests archived phonograph recordings of Kurdish folklore and wedding songs that have been preserved in wax cylinders since the beginning of 20th century, in The Berliner Phonogramm-Archiv and Phonogrammarchive in Vienna, into phenomenal auditory icons of profound cultural heritage and identity.
Morîk, the band’s debut album, is a flawless, rhythmic homage that resurrects a treasured past at the axis of the present and future. Made by Austrian and German explorers at the start of the 20th century, sounds of a Syrian priest singing in Jerusalem (“Axir Zemana” , “Lo Lo Li Mino”) Kurdish shepherds’ songs, and locals singing Kurdish folklore in Sendshirli excavated sites (present-day eastern Turkey) (“Xelîlo Lawo”, “Lê Lê Mi Go”), are recomposed, giving new life to the aural aesthetics of a multicultural time and place. Four songs adapted from wax cylinder recordings and five traditional Kurdish folklore and wedding songs (“De Çêkin”, “Finciko”, “Şewqo”, “Girê Sîra” and “Lo Şivano”) transmit an experience of inflexible symbolism through sound. Morîk, meaning pearl, resonates with the band’s discovery of light and meaning from what might have been forgotten.
Snarky Puppy’s Michael League who produced the album explains further about how the album came together: "the recording of Morîk was incredibly special for me. Aside from the historical and cultural significance of recording songs never before committed to modern recording methods, it meant a lot to me personally to have the pleasure of spending this experience with an incredible group of musicians and people. Tarik has been one of my closest friends and teachers for years and helping him and Ferhad (also a friend for many years) represent Kurdish culture in this way is one of the great honors of my life. I hope that the music wins the heart of its listeners as it has won mine."
