ZÊMAR Dİ DENGBÊJİYÊ DE: DENGBÊJ ŞAKİRO WEK NUMÛNE

Abstract

The culture of societies emerges in two the ways; oral culture and written culture. Oral culture is the primary source of written culture. Dengbêjlik tradition, based on a long history, is one of the main elements of oral culture in Kurdish society. Dengbêjs, with their klams and strans, not only kept the oral culture alive and made them reach today but also reserved a special place in the folk literature. Şakıro, a famous dengbej lived in this centuary, sang more than a hundred strans and took an important place in dengbêjlik tradition. In this study, we examined the lamentations in Şakıro’s strans. The main subject of the study is to investigate lamentation and lamentation tradition, Şakıro’s life and Şakıro’s lamentation instruments to functions.
