Welcome to Ula Fille

Diyarbakir (Dikranagert) waves from afar
I'll run and come to you
From that loving embrace that smells of longing
I want to lean my head and go to bed.
Yervant Bostanci is one of the great masters of oud. He is an Armenian from Diyarbakir. He was born in Xançepek, Gâvur District. He dived deep into the music he was introduced to by listening to the sad voice of his father, Kekê Yaqo, and playing the darbuka at weddings. He remembered the musical culture of Diyarbakir with his baglama, cümbüsü, Celal Güzelsesi, Kurdish, Armenian and Turkish.
Udi Yervant, who immigrated to Istanbul in 1976 and to the USA in 1992, returned to Diyarbakir around the time this book was published.
The book in your hand is the story of Diyarbakir's unique musical culture, the Armenian neighborhood, old Diyarbakir with all its aspects of life from the 1950s to the 1970s, Kurdish-Armenian daily relations, puss making, and tradesman conversation. Of course, the sad and joyful life story of Udi Yervant.
When he returned to Diyarbakır after many years, Ula elephant welcomed him at the airport! From the pen of Seyhmus Dike's fellow countryman.
