The fact that PKR has identified Nahro Zagros as one of his targets puts these posts in the realm of legitimate criticism(if a bit hostile) rather than just some kind of TROLL stuff.
    Nahro is a cosmopolitaN Kurdish muscian, familiar with other idioms as well as traditional Kurdish music. he plays with mussicians from other cultures in his band, and likes Eastern European stuff, as well as Kurdish rad, and his own stuff. Some of the Kurdish people I knw play very hardline trad, some aspire to the ubiquitous Yamaha keyboard disco sound belved of modern emigre Middle Eastern musicians everywhere. These are all different kind of music. And, as I mentioned earlier, a friend of mine called Kamran plays cello in the No Staffs Symphony orchestra, and also very tra Kurdish in the Baq Band (it's pronounced Back, I may have the spelling wrong, I've not seen it written down).
    So, lots of people, lots of kinds of music. And PKR may have a point if some of the music is presented as Kurdish trad if it isnt. If a load of English refugees arrived in Kurdistan and started setting up bands there might be a bit of dispute too. Say the local folklore festival in Kirkuk put on an English band and said it was English folk music. And say the band was actually a straightforward 12-bar Saturday night pub blues band. Then you might well find the impeccable Copper style harmony group complaining bitterly if they didn't get the gig.
   What I find interesting, to change the subject, is the validity of my own value-judgements on Kurdish music. I have recorded loads of Kurdish singers, for example. Obviously, I started having opinions quite quickly about which ones I liked better than others. Do my opinions make any sense in Kurdish terms? For a start, I hadnt much clue who was in tune and who weren't, some of the scales are so wierd. And the amount of throbbing emotion used, another criterion, is I expect much more highly valued by most Kurds than it is by me. I know that one of the singers I've recorded stands out head and shoulders above the others, to me. But does he to the other Kurds...some, or all, of them? It is very intriguing. And helps you think about your own music too. I would seriously like a chat with you, Proud Kurdish refugee, your analysis of what is going on here would be very interesting.
