Newroz songs
The songs of fire and new year: what Kurdistan sings on the 21st of March.
Newroz, the Kurdish new year, is the most musical day of the calendar: fires, circle dances and anthems from first light to midnight. This guide gathers the repertoire that belongs to the day itself: the national anthem, the marching songs, and the govend standards that turn every square into a dance floor. Search interest in the anthem cluster rises every winter toward its January and March peaks; this page is the place where that seasonal wave lands.
