#Crimean Tatar

[lethendralis-paints]

4th addition to my Ukrainian versions of DA2 characters. This time it's Isabela as a Crimean tatar! The traditional garb of these native Crimean people is gorgeous and suits her si well in my opinion!

Ізабела в традиційному строї кримських татар в рамках #MLV_fandom від Мальовій

As a reminder, here are all the previous DA2 chars redesigns I've drawn before:

Crimean Tatar woman, 1939

[sonyaheaneyauthor]

18th-20th May 1944: russian soldiers, on Stalin’s orders, load the entire native Tatar population of Crimea onto cattle trains to be deported. Many did not survive.

russia would again begin ethnic cleansing of the peninsula when they illegally annexed Crimea from Ukraine in 2014.

“A grandmother and her grandson in the family home in Sari Bash, a village in the Crimean steppe where Tatars were given virtually worthless land. The village is a former prison camp with very poor infrastructure.”

Synthesizing the Silk Roads: Uzbek Disco, Tajik Folktronica, Uyghur Rock & Tatar Jazz from 1980s Soviet Central Asia

Ostinato Records is releasing a compilation of 80s Central Asian music which includes 15 remastered tracks, all licensed directly from the original artists or their families. From the Bandcamp description:

Compiled from ultra-rare dead stock pressed at a Soviet-era vinyl plant in Tashkent, Uzbekistan, this first-of-its-kind fully licensed album features a supreme selection of Uzbek disco, Tajik electronic folk, Uyghur guitar licks, Crimean Tatar jazz, Korean brass, and genre-defying styles from Soviet Central Asia.

Drop the needle, and you're not just hearing rare Soviet dance music. You're journeying along the Silk Roads, revisiting raucous USSR disco nights, and immersing in grooves that inspired Soviet youth to envision a different future, ultimately unraveling the Iron Curtain from within.

Preorder the album on Ostinato Records' Bandcamp page (not sponsored, really). Releases 30 August 2024.

Jamala - ARAFAT DAĞINDAN (Official Music Video)

ARAFAT DAĞINDAN – це містична старовинна народна пісня з міста Акмесджит (Сімферополь), одна з небагатьох на релігійну тематику: філософська, глибока і драматична. Ви маєте це побачити та почути.

Lyrics+Translation

QT:

ARAFAT DAĞINDAN, DAĞINDAN,

ENERLER HACILAR,

ENERLER HACILAR.

YÜREGİMDE BİTMEZ DE ACILAR,

ĞAMLAR DA, ACILAR,

ĞAMLAR DA, ACILAR.

VARAYIM, GİDEYİM, GİDEYİM,

DAĞLARNIÑ BAŞINA,

DAĞLARNIÑ BAŞINA.

İSMİÑNİ YAZDIRAYIM, YAZDIRAYIM,

QABRİMNİÑ TAŞINA,

QABRİMNİÑ TAŞINA.

Translation of the song:

UKR:

СХОДИТЬ З ГОРИ АРАФАТ

ПРОЧАН БІЛИЙ ПОТІК.

А НА СЕРЦІ МОЇМ

ПЕЧАЛЬ ЧОРНА ЛЕЖИТЬ.

ПІДУ, ЗІЙДУ І Я НА ВЕРШИНУ ГІР —

НАНЕСУ ТВОЄ МʼЯ

НА МОГИЛЬНИЙ КАМІНЬ СВІЙ.

***

ENG:

ARAFAT DESCENDS FROM THE MOUNTAIN

A WHITE STREAM OF PILGRIMS.

AND IN MY HEART

I FEEL A BLACK SORROW.

I WILL GO AND CLIMB TO THE TOP OF THE MOUNTAIN

AND I WILL PUT YOUR NAME

ON MY GRAVESTONE.

Memorial to the victims of the genocide of the Crimean Tatar people

Crimea is not just a territory. It is a part of our soul, a land where our people lived in peace and harmony with their culture, language, and traditions. We are not merely fighting for the return of Crimea; we are fighting for the restoration of justice and the chance for every Crimean to return to their homeland, their Crimea, free from Russia and fear. Today, as part of the Fourth Summit of the International Crimea Platform, we are unveiling a Ukrainian national memorial dedicated to commemorating the tragedy of the Crimean Tatar people. And one day, a similar memorial will undoubtedly appear in our free Crimea. We are confident that Crimea will be free. This is our shared mission, and the whole world stands with Ukraine in this struggle today. —Volodymyr Zelenskyy

My aunt was Crimean Tatar. I wish we had the chance to meet before she passed.

Qazaq: өрік/örik - from Proto-Turkic *erük, "plum, apricot";

Crimean Tatar: 1) qaysı - from Ottoman Turkish kaysi/kayısı (blue on the map), 2) zerdali - from Ottoman Turkish zerdalu/zerdali, which is derived from Persian zard-âlu, equivalent to زرد (zard, “yellow”) +‎ آلو (âlu, “plum”).
