Kurdish singing and music.
Kurdistan is a historical-geographical region in the northeast of the Middle East that has been divided between Turkey, Persia, Syria, Armenia and Iraq since 1918 and is mainly inhabited by Kurds with an Aramean, Arab, Turkish and Armenian minority. The Kurdish people have a rich culture.This concerns places of settlement, family traditions, marriages, funerals, national costumes of men and women and food. But there is also an impressive message about the Kurdish fact woven into Kurdish literature, painting, sculpture, theater and music.
