In this study, structural characteristics and mode of
performance of the long-standing instrument which is mostly called two-string bağlama, two-string cura today and also known as ırızva and ruzba will be discussed. It is also aimed to emphasize the
important role of the instrument in the transmission and conservation of a
culture. For this, the role of Âşık Nesimi Çimen, one of the most important and
recent links in the process of bringing the two-string bağlama/cura to the present beyond the centuries has been
emphasized. In the study, literature review and structured interview methods
were used to collect data. In the study, it is seen that the ‘‘two-string’‘
instrument encountered in a poem of Kaygusuz Abdal in the 14th
century has been used in the Alevi belief and culture since then and is an
important part of it. Two-string bağlama/cura
which is performed with a unique tuning and playing technique is a dual sound
instrument consisting of two rows of string and played with tapping (clawing)
technique. Âşık Nesimi Çimen greatly served the transmission of two-string bağlama/cura from local to national,
from national to international with his studies. Nesimi performed the
two-string cura with the
technique developed by him and made this instrument known more with his
conscious efforts and also made efforts to prevent the disappearance of this
instrument. As a result, two-string bağlama/cura
has moved beyond being just an instrument, and has become one of the carrier
elements of a culture and survived until today.
