The greatest Kurdish artist alive... lived in Sweden!

Sivan Perwer giving a concert in Sweden.

Şivan Perwer (pron: Shivân Parwar) is a Kurdish poet, writer, musical teacher, singer, and performer on the tembûr (lute).

Sivan lived with his family (son Serxwebun and former wife Gulîstan) in a immigrant suburb called Stenhagen in Uppsala.

He is a leading Kurdish artist and is considered by many Kurds as the greatest Kurdish musician of all time. He captivates audiences not only by his charismatic and controversial personality, but above all his powerful, highly emotional voice and the hypnotic rhythm of his music. Şivan currently lives in exile after fleeing Turkey in 1976 because of his music. He holds several honorary doctorates in music.

The worlds first Kurdish library... in Sweden!

Sweden - Kurdistan


I am, as a Kurd from the beautiful country Sweden, very proud to present this blog. I will try my best to write as much as possible about Swedish-Kurdish friendship.

In south Kurdistan (Iraq), Sweden is a well known country. The Kurdish population in Sweden is estimated to be over 50.000 and many of the Kurds have returned to their motherland after the Iraq-war officially ended.

We can find Swedish schools in Duhok, Swedish flags in Hewler, statue of the former Swedish prime minister Olof Palme in Suleymani and even a Swedish village outside Hewler.
We can find Swedish institutes and centres in all parts of Kurdistan.

We could write thousands of pages about this subject, if I have the time... I will write them for you!

tack mycket - gelekî sipas
