Kurdish wedding songs

The songs that carry a Kurdish wedding, from the first govend to the last halay.

A Kurdish wedding is a marathon of music: hours of unbroken govend in which the singer chains song into song. This guide collects the pillars of that repertoire as documented on Kurdimusic, from the step that opens every floor to the classics no wedding singer can skip. Use the listen links on each page to find performances, and expect every region, and every family, to have its own additions.
