Dengbêj is a traditional art of sung storytelling that passes down history, geography, love stories and everyday life from generation to generation.
At Dengbej House, set in a traditional Diyarbakır courtyard house in the old town, storytellers take turns performing long narrative songs – a rare chance to experience the city's living cultural heritage.
