Hozan Dîno
One of the defining voices of the Kurdish wedding floor in Europe.

- Bakur / diaspora
Hozan Dîno is one of the best-known live wedding and govend singers of the European diaspora. His repertoire is built for the dance floor: long, driving govend and halay sets in which song after song is chained together without letting the circle break. Search interest in his name across Germany, the Netherlands and Scandinavia mirrors where Kurdish wedding halls are fullest. His popularity shows a truth about Kurdish music that studio charts miss: the wedding floor, not the radio, is where this music lives most intensely.
