Sources for awards?

[edit]

Does anyone know of evidence of the awards given (1993: BBC's Prix Futura for his production of the radio play Tunguska Guska by Grace Yoon, Sainkho Namchilak, Iris Disse and 1995: German Record Critics' Prize for Color me Cairo)? I can't find anything about this on the internet, and even if several descriptions of his career mention this, a reliable source is necessary for this. - If we can't add these sources, we might have to delete these awards.

If a serious description mentions it, that should be good enough for RD. (This is not a featured article). Once exposed to a broader public, we may more likely find someone with a better source than when hiding the awards. --Gerda Arendt (talk) 12:20, 15 June 2022 (UTC)[reply]
Hope your expectation will come true. Since there is no known source or even a serious description of him having received the German Music Critics' Award, however, I have tagged this with [citation needed]. That's all I can do for the time being. Munfarid1 (talk) 15:24, 15 June 2022 (UTC)[reply]
Isn't this what you are looking for? --Gerda Arendt (talk) 16:00, 15 June 2022 (UTC)[reply]
Thanks, I have added this link from Die Tageszeitung as reliable source for his awards. Do you want to schedule it now for the Recent deaths section? Munfarid1 (talk) 16:22, 15 June 2022 (UTC)[reply]
yes --Gerda Arendt (talk) 16:23, 15 June 2022 (UTC)[reply]
Thanks, Gerda, hope this will lead to more visits from English speaking readers. The German version of this had an astounding >25.000 visits during the last three days! And I just added an external link to a video of his and Embryo's tour to India from 1979!Munfarid1 (talk) 16:49, 15 June 2022 (UTC)[reply]

For anyone wanting to listen to Bunka's fine playing on the oud, I recommend his tune "For Luis" from his 2004 album Orientación. Munfarid1 (talk) 16:55, 15 June 2022 (UTC)[reply]
