On Some of Omar Khayyam's "Rubaiyat" http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rubaiyat_of_Omar_Khayyam
The Kamkars (Kurdish: Kamkaran, Persian: کامکارها ), a Kurdish family of seven brothers and a sister, all from the city of Sanandaj, are one of the leading musical ensembles in Kurdistan and Iran today. Their repertoire ranges from the vast array of traditional Kurdish and Persian music with its poignant, entrancing melodies and uplifting high energy rhythms to the classical Kurdish and Persian classical music of Iran. The repertoire of Kurdish music is richly diverse and deeply-rooted in the ancient history and culture of its proud and passionate people. It speaks of epic tales and wars, romantic love, and recounts ancient myths and stories of national and religious heroes, some of which date back to thousands of years to the time of the ancient Medes (the ancestors of the Kurds)."[1]
The group has performed numerous concerts throughout the world, including their performance at the 2003 Nobel Peace Prize ceremony honoring Shirin Ebadi.

@NawrozNawrozi the most stupid thing you can do is insulting people based on their language

[Vierotchka]

@NawrozNawrozi To my knowledge, Omar Khayyam did not write in the Kurdish language, so what is wrong with this wonderful family singing Kayyam's exquisite Sufi poetry in Persian? You truly are full of it...
