ARK News… On the first anniversary of the death of the Kurdish artist Saeed Gabari, the Kurdistan Democratic Party - Syria (KDP) revived the memory in the countryside of Erbil, the capital of the Kurdistan Region.

With the participation of dozens, the Kurdistan Democratic Party - Syria (KDP-S) commemorated the anniversary of the departure of the artist Saeed Gabari, on Tuesday, May 4, at four in the afternoon.

The revival ceremony took place in the village of Mulla Omar in rural Erbil, with a visit to his grave and the delivery of many words in praise of his role in serving Kurdish art and the causes of his people.

A brief about his life:
The Kurdish artist, Saeed Gabari, was born on 13. 04. 1956, in the village of “Xirbê Kejê”, east of the city of Amouda in Syrian Kurdistan, and father of eight children.

The artist, Saeed Gabari, knew the art at an early age when his singing talent began to appear at the age of eight, and he was influenced by his mother who used to sing Kurdish folk songs. They memorized the songs together and they met: Saydaye Terij” and “Cigerxwin”, who adopted his talent, sang many of their poems, and they also met the Kurdish artist, Muhammad Sheikho.

His first song was at the age of ten in Qamishlo, and Amouda, where he sang patriotic, folkloric, and folk songs in difficult circumstances in which the simplest means of copying cassettes, distribution, and audio recording were virtually absent. Saeed Gabari was able to record his first song in 1969 and it was widely distributed at that time.

He held Kurdish folklore and history in his chest and heart and contributed to protecting him from being lost in light of the hostile attacks by the enemies of the Kurds.

The Kurdish artist, Saeed Gabari, died last year, after suffering from lung cancer. He left behind a great artistic legacy.
