"Newroz" (Kurdish: نەورۆز) is a Kurdish song performed by Hassan Zirak.[3][4][5] It was recorded on Kurdish Radio Tehran and Radio Kermanshan. The song is based on a poem by the Kurdish poet Piramerd.[6][7] The lyrics reflect themes of Newroz, the Kurdish New Year celebrated on March 21, while also conveying notions of spring, renewal, and cultural celebration.[8]
The repeated chorus reinforces the festive spirit associated with the holiday, while the final line makes reference to the patriotic song "Ey Reqîb", commonly sung during Newroz celebrations.[9]
The song is performed with vocal accompaniment and features traditional Kurdish instruments, including the violin and tombak. The composition were done by Mojtaba Mirzadeh, a prominent Kurdish-Iranian musician known for his contributions to Kurdish music.[10][11]
