“This music, it’s also a kind of affiliation of our religion,” says Mamou Othman, who studies music as psychotherapy at the University of Dohuk. “There are special songs that only the Yazidis sing.”
AMAR’s Yazidi Choir has performed in the U.K for King Charles and AMAR has also recorded sacred Yazidi religious music, and given these to the University of Oxford’s Bodleian Library to archive for future generations.
