The Circassian flag is a national and cultural symbol celebrated on Circassian Flag Day, April 25th. Its design features a green background with twelve gold stars forming a bow and three crossed arrows at the center, symbolizing unity and defense. The flag is not only significant to the Republic of Adyghea but also to Circassians globally, representing their cultural and spiritual unity.

David Urquhart, a British diplomat, is traditionally credited with the flag's creation in 1836 when he sent three flags to Circassia, symbolizing independence with a design of a white circle and three black arrows. However, this narrative oversimplifies the complex dynamics and roles played by others, notably Seferbiy Zaneqo, a key Circassian national movement figure who facilitated Urquhart's brief visit to Circassia in 1834.

Seferbiy Zaneqo's involvement was significant in the flag’s introduction to Circassia, a symbol of Circassian identity and sovereignty. The flag’s design connects to the heraldic traditions of the region, tracing back to the banner of Kuchuk Dzhankhotov, a senior prince of Kabarda, which featured similar elements of crossed arrows and stars.

Today, the Circassian flag symbolizes more than a regional emblem; it stands for freedom, unity, and pride. Celebrated with processions and cultural festivities, it represents the resilience and rich heritage of the Circassian people. Circassian Flag Day is an occasion to reflect on the community's ongoing struggle for recognition and self-determination. For more on the flag’s history and significance, the interview with historian Samir Khotqo on abkhazworld.com provides deeper insights into its ties to Circassian national identity.

During World War I, the Battle of Sarikamish took place between the Russian Empire and the Ottoman Empire. Before the battle even began, more than 25,000 Ottoman soldiers froze to death, and thousands more died in the battle that followed. Among them were thousands of Circassians, who had joined the Ottoman army with hopes of freeing their homeland Circassia from Russia.

About This Release:

BodyMoves returns under the moniker Enver Goyken for his second full length beat tape on London-based label Shapes of Rhythm. Ozan (meaning travelling wise poet in Turkish) is a 21-track exploration of the Turkish side of his heritage, and the alias which is his birth name. Enver's biological dad was from Istanbul, and unfortunately the beat-maker didn't have a relationship with him for most of his life. When he died in 2016, BodyMoves was advised to use his passion for music to explore Turkiye and its culture as part of the grieving process, and to better understand that part of who he is.
"Amongst other things, my biological dad was a musician who first played a part in Turkish rock n roll history, and then as a producer who pioneered modern studio set ups in Turkey, so perhaps I was always going to be obsessed by music myself"
"As a beat maker, my dive into Turkish music inevitably led to identifying samples in the music I was digging into, and although it's been quite a long process, it has resulted in this beat tape project coming together."
Alongside digging into the musical side of Turkiye's culture, it also presented an opportunity to explore thousands of years of history as the bridge between East and West. It's for this reason that the tracklisting reads like a history lesson, referencing famous people and places across time, from archaeological sites and ancient statues to empires, Sultans, armies and tribes of people.
The music on Ozan is loosely framed around hip hop but is unrestricted by tempo. Using his trusty SP404 (championed by people like Ras G and Madlib), and a stack of records and historical references these are raw, raw beats and grooves. The departure from 2017's Cariño beat tape is that here there is a much more global approach to the sound sources. The opener Göbekli Tepe welcomes you in with an introductory stringed instrument fanfare before a whirlwind of polyrhythms move around a swinging, unquantised beat.
Urfa Man quickens the tempo with hand percussion samples and urgent vocal chants and calls, whilst a bassline moves nimbly around joined by a lush Rhodes line. Achaemenid is a lower affair, underpinned by a repetitive dusty piano sample and clacking wooden percussion. In classic BodyMoves style the duration is short but the ideas within it are many. Constantine I is all woozy sub bass and neck-snapping snares, whilst a hypnotic set of hand drums work their way through your brain. Sasanian is a complete assault on the senses with its swirling effects and minimal percussion.
Byzantium is the beat tape's longest and possibly grooviest track, led by a bassline and a reflective keyboard sequence. İznik is another track underpinned by Rhodes and punctuated by an urgent, looped up vocal hook.

Staying true to beat tape tradition Ozan is released on limited white cassette (and digital) with extensive contextual and historic liner notes plus map. Limited to 75 copies.

During the revival of nature, the spirits first return to the air, then water and lastly, to the earth, with a week in between each. It is celebrated in the Spring Equinox the day that the spirits return to the earth, in the name of Sozeresh, besides Tkhashkho. It is accepted as the end of Winter and the beginning of Summer in the Circassian Solar calendar. It is both a familial and communal holiday.

His idol, the seven-branched hawthorn was kept in the granaries of the homesteads. On the evening of the day before the Vernal Equinox, the members approach the granary. The daughter-in-law of the household would enter the granary and lock the door. She would then light the seven candles affixed on the branches of the idol, herself facing east. The senior male member of the house would call out to the Golden Rider: “Sozeresh, open the doors and let us in!” She would then go in and fetch the idol, open the doors and bring it in front of the family hearth with cheer and music from the others. It would be placed erect, its seven branches adorned with seven candles and a wheel of smoked Circassian cheese attached in the centre. The members of the household then would join hands around the idol and the matron of the family or the eldest daughter would make the prayer:

Sozeresh!
We thank you for the harvest of the Summer,
We beseech you to give us bountiful harvest in the future,
We beseech you, Sozeresh,
To protect our harvest from theft and our barn from fire!

The next ritual is called Masch’oshkhatykh (МашӀошхьэтыхь) “The Hearth Sacrifice”, which is held in each and every household simultaneously right after the extraction of the Sozeresh’s idol. The feasting began after the immolation of a black cow or black ram or black hen depending on the wealth of the family in the consecrated hearth, after which the Tkhamade would line up along with the members of the household by the hearth and voice the prayer and raises a toast, concluding the ritual:

With lasting fire in our hearth,
And well-lit and hot stoves,
Lacking no victuals to boil,
Nor crops to cook,
May Tkhashkho see us through next year!

The next phase is the feast, during which all sorts of food and drink are served throughout the night, and games are played to pass the time. This is to prevent oneself from falling asleep, for it is an ill omen and bad luck to slumber during this auspicious night. Before dawn, all able-bodied attendants would go to a nearby body of water such as a river or a stream and wash, no matter how cold the water may be, hardening their bodies and tempering their souls.

After coming out of the water, drying and warming themselves, people would gather in the sacred grove. They would tie colourful ribbons on the branches of the elder oak, naming their wish with the tightening of the knot. At dawn, everyone would face the east and greet the sun. The Tkhamade, with a bowl of bakhsym in one hand and a cheese pie in the other, would make a prayer:

O’ New Year’s light,
Enter out homes bringing happiness and goodness with you!
May disease and misfortune bypass us
A peaceful sky shine over us,
And our hearth be full of food,
And everything that your heart desires is in our hands!
Let's say “Amin” so that the coming year will be happy for all of us!

Throughout the following two days after the day of Vernal Equinox, relatives and neighbours would begin visiting one another to vocalise their wishes for them. The visitors would not recite the cliche wishes such as health, abundance, wealth, et cetera but directly name things that the members of the household lack and very much like to have. This was done by first asking for the thing or things from the host that they know they don’t have, to which the host replies saying that they would have never refused to serve the things that they ask for had they had them in the first place, and so the guests express their wishes.

Khurome (Хъуромэ) is an originally pagan holiday practise, later adapted into Christianity and celebrated on the 7th of January as the Orthodox Christmas. It seems as though Khurome normally was a continuation of the New Year celebrations, done during the second and/or third day of the three-day holiday, in which elders would parade the settlement, announcing their toasts, while the young collect food from doors while singing praises and wishes of abundance and health.

Households would donate their food generously, as the deed would soothe the troubled souls of the deceased, also because the year to come would be exiguous for the stingy. After the completion of these parades, the groups would convene in a designated place to cook and eat the food.

At the end of the three days, the idol of Sozeresh would then be taken back to the granary, where it would rest until the next year’s celebrations.

The day after, adults would begin a fast that lasts for forty-eight days, abstaining from meat and eggs.

Muhteşem Çerkes Düğünleri, <br />En güzel Çerkes düğün videoları

HRH PRINCE ALI BIN AL HUSSEIN INTERVIEW
(THE ADYGHE DOCUMENTARY - ADİGE BELGESELİ*)

Ürdün (HRH) Prensi Ali Bin El Hüseyin'in 1997 yılında farklı ülkelerden gelen ve 12 Adige kabilesini temsil eden 12 atla Kafkaslar'a uzanan yolculuğu anlatılıyor:

"... Yol boyunca her durduğumuz yerde dans ediyorduk. Dans sırasında bir tür iletişim oluşuyor. Daha çok ruhsal bir iletişim. Yaşamımız boyunca belki bir kelime bile konuşmadığımız insanlar vardı, ancak konuşmaların çok ötesine geçen bir anlaşma (iletişim) gerçekleştiriyorduk.

Birisiyle dansı bitiriyorsunuz ve tek kelime konuşmaksızın birbirinizi çok iyi anladığınızı fark ediyorsunuz. Bir kişiyi yıllarca tanıyor olabilirsiniz, fakat aranızda hiçbir bağlantı ve iletişim olmayabiliyor. Neler olduğunu anlamak çok zaman alabilir. Fakat bir kez iletişim gerçekleştiğinde bu, bütün dünyanız ve bütün dilinizin kendisi oluveriyor.

Bugün dünyada kendi kültürünün özelliklerini, kendi geleneklerini korumayı başarmış, ideal bir "Çerkes Karakterini" taşımaya çalışan birçok genç Çerkes var. Sanırım, birlikte yolculuk yaptığım arkadaşlar, diasporada yaşayan, kim olduklarını bilmek isteyen, köklerini, kültürlerini araştıran bu gençleri oldukça etkiledi..."

(*) Adige Belgeseli, Prens Ali'nin, Ürdün'den başlayıp, Suriye ve Türkiye'deki Çerkeslerin yoğun olarak bulunduğu yerlerden geçerek Karadeniz'e, oradan da Kuzey Kafkasya'ya varışını konu alıyor. Filmde, anavatanları dışında yaşayan Çerkeslerin koşulları, asimile olma sınırına gelişleri, kimlik, dil ve kültürlerini kaybetme tehlikesiyle karşılaşmaları da işleniyor.
