Watch BIJI Deliver An Illuminating Performance Of "Evîn" | Global Spin

BIJI, the duo made up of Robin Nazari and Maceo Frost, highlight their rich cultural background in a performance of their song "Evîn" from their debut album, BIJI, Pt. 1. The track translates to "Love" in Kurdish and seamlessly blends traditional Western Asian sounds with contemporary influences from hip-hop, Afrobeat, Latin, and dance music. Their debut album is a tribute to their homeland of Kurdistan and to those who were forced to lose touch with their culture but yearn to reconnect.

"Biji is for the diaspora kids, those who remain, and those who have had to leave. To build bridges between different cultures," BIJI says. "For those who have forgotten their mother tongue and wish to learn it. For those who have not been among the mountains but feel with the heights. Biji is resistance; it is dance by simply existing. Biji is world music, Biji is Kurdish music, Biji is our way home," For more episodes of Global Spin, visit GRAMMY.com/videos.
