	Kurdish music - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		An academic study of Kurdish music, dance and musical instruments in Hakkari was published by Dr. D.
		Kurdish music from Iranian Kurdistan has a rather distinctive form with its ancient native instruments such as the Def and the Tembûr and with a shadow of Persian influence.
		Kurdish singers from Iraqi Kurdistan had sometimes the opportunity of performing and recording with Arab orchestras, which is the reason why Kurdish music from this part is somewhat influenced by Arabian music.

		There are other dances, mainly danced closely linked together, which I think of as being from `Greater Armenia', that is, from the territory which used to be Armenian and where dances and music reveal an Armenian influence, even though the dances might be called Turkish, Kurdish, or Assyrian.
		While dances do change when adapted for performance, it is worth bearing in mind that because so much Armenian traditional dance and music was tragically obliterated as a result of the massacres and diaspora, the survival of these arts in any form is something to celebrate.
		A general differentiation could also be made between village folk dances and those which have been arranged or choreographed by professional ensembles, as well as between the dances found in Armenia today and those now danced mainly in expatriate communities.

		This CD unveils another facet of Ostad Elahi’s music: his improvisations not only on the setar and the tanbur, which each have their own specific techniques, but also on a five-string tanbur that he himself created, probably to realize a synthesis between the Persian and Kurdish lutes.
		In the context of the intimate "Qatar" mode of classical Persian music, Ostad Elahi is inspired with an astonishing and fluid cascade of original Persian and Kurdish motifs on the five-stringed tanbur.
		The solemnity and majesty of the Tarz-e Yari and Saru Khani suites, both played in the same mode, are followed by the dance rhythms of Tan Amiri and Pa Kotaki, evoking joy and ecstasy.

		There are other dances, mainly danced closely linked together, which I think of as being from `Greater Armenia', that is, from the territory which used to be Armenian and where dances and music reveal an Armenian influence, even though the dances might be called Turkish, Kurdish, or Assyrian.
		Given the precedent of the creativity with which Armenia's scattered children have responded to the loss in this century of so much of their music, dance and other art, as well as the loss of so many lives, it felt appropriate to arrange this dance, combining traditional Armenian shoror steps along with my own choreography.
		Formerly, Armenia covered a huge territory, including the mountains of what are now Georgia and Azerbaijan, and the vast plateau which extends from eastern Anatolia in Turkey to the southern Caucasus and partly into Iran, Iraq and Syria.
