Adarê (In March) by Agirê Jiyan is one of the defining modern Kurdish songs: a melody so widely sung that many assume it is folk material, though it belongs to the 1990s koma generation. Its subject is the month itself: Adar, the month of Newroz, of fire and of renewal, and every year in March the song returns to playlists, gatherings and squares as reliably as the season. As a modern protected work its full text is not reproduced here; this page documents its context and its place in the Newroz repertoire.
