Iraqi Folk Song

Iraqi Folk Song
The Unity Orchestra performs 'The Iraqi Bolero'! The orchestral arrangement of the folk song, 'Pass By Us When You Leave'. The Unity orchestra was comprised of over 150 musicians from all of Iraq's orchestras: Baghdad, Erbil and Suleimaniyah. The orchestra met and rehearsed from July 13 to 23, 2007 in a project organized by American Voices and funded by the U.S. Embassy in Baghdad with additional support from Austrian Airlines and individual donations.

@americanvoices Where in Iraq, the majority of areas are unsafe. Kurdistan is relatively safe when away from the borders.
