	Kurdish Music
		Kurdish music belongs to the same family as Persian music, but its main characteristic, as in Indian music, is the exploration of the octave.
		In the musical construction the improvisation at the outset is balanced by means of a measured concluding part.
		In terms of music itself there is no doubt that they are, for if the musician deviates from the degrees prescribed for the mode and determined by the fourteen frets on the tanbura, they will notice immediately that this represent a departure from their tradition.

	KEO - CULTURE - Music - Introduction
		Modern Kurdish music is the inheritor of the medieval Kurdish musical heritage which nurtured and gave rise to these artists and researchers in the field.
		In modern Kurdish music, at any rate, adding words to the instrumental sounds is considered as essential and necessary to make music as plucking the strings of the tambura, striking the drum, or blowing into the flute.
