Karuan – Pop Arif (2007) ♫

Karuan (full name: Karwan Marouf or simply Karwan) was born in 1976 in Vienna from kurdish parents. When he was six years old Karuan started to record his songs on music tapes. Ever since that day making music is Karuan's most favourite thing to do.

In 1995 Karuan started to work on his own solo projects which were mostly inspired by folk and african music.

After his debut album he released his second studio album “Pop Arif” in the year 2007.

I first listened to this album about three years ago and I think it is one of my best of. Full of indie and folk elements with downtempo sound. It really amazed me. (Definitely listen to these songs)
