***
In pursuing the goal of promoting music especially the traditional music, “Baarbad Music” is presenting “Kurdish Folklore Music” concert.

Kurdish folklore music is one the richest and oldest folklore music with over 2500 years of history. Kurdistan with its high mountains, hard to cross passes, rivers running in deep valleys, cold winters, and mild summers have made it hard for assailers to attack the land. Therefore its music and language have not been altered like many other Aryan lands.

Folklore music is the root of traditional music in the east. It has remained and passed over generations and it is still a great part of their culture and heritage.

With a selection of cheerful and dynamic folklore music of Kurdistan, Baarbad Music attempts to attract more people to the art of traditional music and strongly oppose the saying of “traditional music is sad”.
