Kazim Koyuncu is one of my favourites.

He covered many songs from the Black Sea region

Didou nana (Mingrelian-Lazuri-Georgian)
Ella ella (Hamshen)
Ben seni sevduğumi
Tapancamin sapini
Cilveloy
Narino
Divane aşık gibi
Hayde
Uy aha/Koçari (Turkish-Lazuri)

Kazım Koyuncu (November 7, 1971 in Hopa, Artvin Province, Turkey June 25, 2005 in Istanbul, Turkey) was a Laz folk-rock singer, song writer, and activist.

An ethnic Laz, Koyuncu recorded songs in a number of languages spoken along the northeastern Black Sea coast of Turkey, as well as the language of Laz. He was the founder and singer of Zuğaşi Berepe ("The Children of the Sea" in Laz), a folk rock group founded in 1993. Following the group's break-up in 2000, Koyuncu went on to record two solo albums, Viya! in 2001 and Hayde in 2004, which proved to be extremely popular across Turkey and also in Georgia.

He died during treatment for lung cancer in 2005. Although strongly denied by Health Minister Recep Akdag, it is generally assumed that the Chernobyl disaster was the cause of Koyuncu's cancer, a sentiment shared by many locals and referenced twice in Fatih Akın's film, The Edge of Heaven.

Besides Turkish, he is most famous for having sung in Lazuri, but his albums also contain several songs in Armenian, Homshetsi, Georgian and Megrelian. He also fought for nature and was against the construction of a nuclear reactor at Sinop on the northern Black Sea coast of Turkey. He was a well-known activist in environmental and cultural issues, and other things that were at risk and needed awareness and protection in Turkey.

Pink Floyd-Another Brick In The Wall

 

You, Yes You, Stand Still Laddie!

When we grew up and went to school, there were certain teachers who would hurt the children anyway they could
by pouring their derision upon anything we did
exposing every weakness however carefully hidden by the kids.

But in the town it was well known that when they got home at night
their fat and psychopathic wives
Would thrash them within inches of their lives!

ooooooooooooo, oooooooo, ooooooooooo, ooooooooo, ooooooooo, ooooooooo,oooo.

We don't need no education
We don't need no thought control
No dark sarcasm in the classroom
Teachers leave them kids alone
Hey! Teacher! Leave them kids alone!
All in all it's just another brick in the wall.
All in all you're just another brick in the wall.

(A bunch of kids singing) We don't need no education
We don't need no thought control
No dark sarcasm in the classroom
Teachers leave them kids alone
Hey! Teacher! Leave us kids alone!
All in all it's just another brick in the wall.
All in all you're just another brick in the wall.

Spoken:
"Wrong, Guess again!
Wrong, Guess again!
If you don't eat yer meat, you can't have any pudding.
How can you have any pudding if you don't eat yer meat?
You! Yes, you behind the bikesheds, stand still laddie!"

[Sound of many TV's coming on, all on different channels]
"The Bulls are already out there"
Pink: "Aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaarrrrrgh!"
"This Roman Meal bakery thought you'd like to know."

I don't need no arms around me
And I dont need no drugs to calm me.
I have seen the writing on the wall.
Don't think I need anything at all.
No! Don't think I'll need anything at all.
All in all it was all just bricks in the wall.
All in all you were all just bricks in the wall.

Masters Of War

Bob Dylan 1963 

 

Come you masters of war You that build all the guns You that build the death planes You that build all the bombs You that hide behind walls You that hide behind desks I just want you to know I can see through your masks. You that never done nothin' But build to destroy You play with my world Like it's your little toy You put a gun in my hand And you hide from my eyes And you turn and run farther When the fast bullets fly. Like Judas of old You lie and deceive A world war can be won You want me to believe But I see through your eyes And I see through your brain Like I see through the water That runs down my drain. You fasten all the triggers For the others to fire Then you set back and watch When the death count gets higher You hide in your mansion' As young people's blood Flows out of their bodies And is buried in the mud. You've thrown the worst fear That can ever be hurled Fear to bring children Into the world For threatening my baby Unborn and unnamed You ain't worth the blood That runs in your veins. How much do I know To talk out of turn You might say that I'm young You might say I'm unlearned But there's one thing I know Though I'm younger than you That even Jesus would never Forgive what you do. Let me ask you one question Is your money that good Will it buy you forgiveness Do you think that it could I think you will find When your death takes its toll All the money you made Will never buy back your soul. And I hope that you die And your death'll come soon I will follow your casket In the pale afternoon And I'll watch while you're lowered Down to your deathbed And I'll stand over your grave 'Til I'm sure that you're dead.-------

Diyarbakır’da Türkler, Kürtler, Ermeniler ve Yahudilerin bir arada yaşadığı, halk arasında ‘Gâvur Mahallesi’ olarak bilinen Hançepek’te dünyaya gelen Bostancı, ABD’den, dönemin Kültür ve Turizm Bakanı Ömer Çelik ile Diyarbakır Büyükşehir Belediye Başkanı Osman Baydemir’in “Yurdunuza dönün” çağrısı üzerine, 21 Haziran 2013’te memleketi Diyarbakır’a dönmüştü. Diyarbakır Devlet Klasik Türk Müziği Korosu’nda sanatçı olarak görev yapmak için Kültür ve Turizm Bakanlığı’na başvuran müzisyen, geçen yıl Ekim ayında ön sınavı geçmiş ve ilk aşamada ‘misafir sanatçı’ olarak kabul edilmişti. Katıldığı genel sınavı da geçen udi Yervant, koronun kadrolu ilk Ermeni sanatçısı olarak göreve başladı.
Agos’a konuşan Bostancı, geçen ay kadrosunun verildiğini belirterek, “Kültür ve Turizm Bakanı Ömer Çelik’in danışmanlarıyla geçen yıl bu konuyla ilgili konuştum. Çok sıcak baktılar. Benim de yüreğim buralarda. ABD’de hiçbir sorunum yoktu ama Diyarbakır sevdası her zaman içimi yakmıştı” dedi. Bostancı, ayrıca, geçen hafta koroda, söz ve bestesi kendisine ait olan ‘Yanarım’ adlı eserinin bir kıtasını Ermenice, bir kıtasını da Türkçe olarak okuduğunu söyledi.
