- Azadoota (/ɑːzɑːduːtɑː/) (Syriac: ܐܵܙܵܕܘܼܬܵܐ) is an Assyrian Australian worldbeat band formed in 1996 in Sydney, Australia that fuses traditional Assyrian pop and folk with Latin music. Its founder, Robin Zirwanda, the band's percussionist and lead singer, writes and sings the songs in Assyrian Neo-Aramaic. The name of the band Azadoota (pronounced ah-zah-doota) means 'freedom' in the Assyrian language. Represented by traditional costumes worn in the ancient Assyrian royal court, Azadoota is one of the few professional bands in the world that performs in the Assyrian language, and is the only Assyrian act to target their presentations specifically to mainstream audiences. The band performs original Assyrian music which the members describe as "contemporary Assyrian dance-rock worldbeat". The employment of styles derived from popular music in combination with the Assyrian lore provides the band's music a quality where listeners can relate to. (en)
