Cafe in Qamishli introduces Kurdish version of traditional Storyteller during Ramadan

Most of Qamishli spend evenings at gardens and parks after Iftar (breaking fast) during Ramadan in addition to the occasional family visits.

In an attempt to attract more customers, a cafe came up with the new idea of introducing a fresh Kurdish version of the traditional storyteller to recite stories of Kurdish history, which is the culture of many in the region.

Storyteller Dilovan Çeto recites folklore stories that introduce Kurdish culture to the new generation.

The event also includes activities that used to be the passing time of previous generations such as singing, contests and charades as they didn’t have TV or mobile phones back then.

Cafe visitors consider the hour of storytelling to be the highlight of their day as it distracts them from the difficult circumstances they are going through.
