Back to my short pre-concert talk, before our groundbreaking concert with Canadian Windsor Symphony Orchestra in 2019. "I grew up in the community (Kurdish), which helped me to educate myself in music (self-taught)"

Don’t forget the dreadful 16.03.1988 when Kurds were preparing to celebrate Newroz— nearly 5000 asphyxiated by chemical weapons in #Halabja, Başûr (South Kurdistan), Iraq.

Îro tevahiya Kurdistanê 38 saliya komkujiya Helebceyê bi rêzdarî û bi bîr tine û ji bîrnake.

The political cartoon by Charlie Hebdo—showing the end of the ideological regressive holy dictator of Iran Ali Khamenei.

The political cartoon by Charlie Hebdo—showing the end of the ideological regressive holy dictator of Iran Ali Khamenei.

The expressive power of art undoubtedly crosses boundaries, sharply and clearly!

The best artwork to celebrate the end of the holy dictator of Iran; still millions of Iranians and marginalized ethnics specially Kurds are waiting for a big change!

Bihar hatiye gundê me
Sor û zer bûye çiyayê me
Ez ji te dûr im, tu ji min dûr î
Tim zivistan, spî bûye...

Spring has come to our village
Our mountain has turned red and yellow
I'm far from you, you are far from me
It's always Winter, it's white...

گۆلی باخی ئاواتم تا کەی دیڵی له ماڵێ
بۆلبۆلی ئارەزووی دل، له کونجی سینگ دەناڵێ
دەڵێ وەک قۆمری به جووت روو بکەینه دووره یاڵێ
هەناسەمان تێکەڵ کەین لێڵێ نار لێڵێ یار
خەمی دنیا دوماڵێ، لێلێ نار لێلێ یارێ
لێلێ نار لێلێ جوانێ
