Kurdistán, cuna de la civilización, Mesopotamia, la tierra entre los dos ríos. Crisol de naciones, lenguas, culturas, resistencia.

El rico patrimonio cultural y artístico que representa la identidad de estas naciones se asemeja a un cuadro compuesto por diversas tradiciones. La música, en particular, transmitida de generación en generación durante miles de años, cuenta las leyendas de resistencia, amor, dolor, nostalgia, heroísmo y valentía de las madres-diosas que siempre han protegido la forma artística original que reside en las canciones populares, y que defiende su propia existencia contra el saqueo, la ocupación y las masacres.
