about

Alevilik Aşkına : researches, footages, recordings & creation around Alevi music from Dersim, deep in the rugged heart of Eastern Anatolia, Turkey.

Alevism: a syncretism of Zoroastrianism, Shamanism, Islam and other influences, which emphasizes inner spiritual growth over outward displays of faith, and regards nature as holy. The vast majority of people in the region of Dersim, through which the Munzur River flows, are adherents of Alevism, and are also ethnic Kurds (though many Alevis in other parts of Turkey are ethnic Turks). "We are not muslims. And we don’t believe there’s a paradise waiting for us after we die. For us, heaven and hell are here on earth. Alevism is not a religion: it's a believe, a path. We are all equal: women, men and nature.” Alevi men and women worship together, preach tolerance for all religions and don’t seek converts. They reject Sharia law as rigid and overly focused on external displays of piety, while they value instead an inner spiritual development, which is mainly practiced by treating people with kindness and generosity, rather than through ritual. And music is a vector.
