“Fire of Anatolia“ - Kurdish Zoroastrian, Yazidi and Folk dance. A-W-E-S-O-M-E!!!

“Fire of Anatolia“, a dance group composed by 120 dancers whose director is the kurd Mustafa Erdogan (from Colemerg - Hakkari). The video shows all the elements that identify the kurdish classic culture and identity, a people before known as the “Adorers of the fire and the Sun“, a people more than years old. The group holds two Guinness records, one for fastest dance performance with 241 steps per minute and another for largest audience, 400 000 people in Ereğli, in the Black Sea Region of Turkey. Elements in this particular show are inspired in The Zoroastrians and Yezidi Kurds, and folkdances from Kurdistan, while the group also performs other shows inspired in the Shaman Turks of Central Asia, different regions of Turkey and Alevi Moslem dances (in this case, search on Youtube). Enjoy this show, every part, every step, every note, is part of the history of the kurdish people. Simply astounding.
