From Wikipedia
Kurdish folk music (Kurdish: میوزیکی فۆلکلۆری کوردی, romanized: Mîwzîkî folkilorî Kurdî or مۆسیقای فۆلکلۆر) is a musical tradition associated with the Kurdish people, encompassing a variety of regional styles, instruments, and lyrical themes. It is often transmitted orally and reflects aspects of Kurdish culture and history.
The earliest documented study of Kurdish folk music was conducted by Armenian priest and composer Komitas in 1903, when he published Chansons Kurdes, a collection of twelve Kurdish melodies he collected during his travels.
