This piece is a reimagination of Siāwčamāna.
Siāwčamāna is a well-known traditional Kurdish song from the villages of Uramanat, an ancient cultural region in the Zagros Mountains. The song belongs to the rich musical tradition of the Hawrami people, and it is thought to have evolved from a song performed in religious ceremonies in Zoroastrian times or possibly earlier.
