Kamkars group
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The Kamkars (Kurdish: Kamkaran, Persian: کامکاران), an Iranian Kurdish family of seven brothers and a sister, are undeniably one of the leading musical ensembles in Iran today. Their repertoire ranges from the vast array of traditional Kurdish and Persian music with its poignant, entrancing melodies and uplifting high energy rhythms to the traditional classical Kurdish and Persian music of Iran. The repertoire of Kurdish music is richly diverse and deeply-rooted in the ancient history and culture of its proud and passionate people. It speaks of epic tales and wars, romantic love, and recounts ancient myths and stories of national and religious heroes, some of which date back to thousands of years to the time of the ancient Medes (the ancestors of the Kurds).)."[1]
The group peformed numerous concerts throughout the world as well as in Shirin Ebadi's Nobel prize ceremony.
