Born in 1978 in Siirt, Turkey, Rojda has become a leading voice in Kurdish music.
In 2018, "Sal Çu" was among more than 200 songs banned by Turkey's national broadcaster, TRT, on claims of "terrorist propaganda," a charge the artist has consistently denied, stating the songs are about peace.
The song typically explores themes of longing, the passage of time, and the emotional weight of memory.
