Gulîstan Perwer belongs to the great exile generation of Kurdish song. Widely known for the celebrated duets she recorded with Şivan Perwer, she has also built a repertoire of her own: folk material and patriotic song delivered with a clear, commanding voice. For diaspora audiences of the 1980s and 1990s her recordings were part of the shared cassette canon, and she remains a reference for female singers taking on the big, declamatory style of that era.
