About Reso (Mehmet Sait)
Reso (Mehmet Sait) was a major Diyarbakır-region dengbêj active from the 1960s through the 2010s. Among the most respected practitioners associated with Diyarbakır's Mala Dengbêjan (Dengbêj House) institution after its 2007 opening, his unaccompanied Kurmanji vocal performances preserved both classical destan repertoire and lyrical lawk material. His passing in 2014 marked the end of a generation of dengbêj who had carried the tradition through suppression-era Turkey.
