| Living in a region divided among Turkey, Syria, Iraq, and Iran, the Kurdish people are a complex ethnic group, varying linguistically and culturally. Kurds in Iran often connect music with the activities of daily life and traditional social events. Among the oldest traditions is bard singing, and although an unprofitable profession, it requires a lifetime commitment. Singing this epic song titled “Xanê Keyqa” is bard singer Hadji Hemederes, who accepts gifts such as sugar and flour for his services because money is considered inadequate payment. |
