TEHRAN – Iranian Kurdish singer Jivar Sheikholeslami plans to perform a benefit concert for Syrian refugee children in Sulaymaniyah in Iraqi Kurdistan concurrent with the Id al-Fitr, the celebration marking the end of the month of Ramadan.
The concert will be offered in two sections of Persian and Kurdish, Sheikholeslami said in a press release on Saturday.
She said that she chose to give her performance in Sulaymaniyah since many Kurds live in Syria.
Part of the concert has been composed by Ali Najafpur, she said, adding that several new arrangements of old folkloric songs are also scheduled to be performed during the concert.
