Maryam Khan was born in 1904<\/u> in the village of Dergul in the Botan region of Kurdistan. Despite many difficulties in her life, she has been able to maintain a high personality. One of the characteristics of Maryam Khan was that she always wore a headscarf. It should be noted that her method of headscarf has been common among the nomadic tribes of North and West Kurdistan and some areas of Sinjar since ancient times.
\nAfter the effects of World War I, because of the economic and social situation of the people of the region, she, like most people, left her homeland and migrated to Syria. She stayed in Damascus for a while and then in 1924<\/u> she moved to South Kurdistan and settled in Zakho.
\nWhen the Qawan Recording Company was established in Baghdad, Maryam Khan moved to the capital in the hope of recording her songs on the Qawan. She recorded her first gramaphone in 1930<\/u> under the name Domame.
\nMaryam Khan has filled 12 records that include Lorke Lorke, Gule Way Nar, Hey Barde Barde, Lele Waso, Gula Sheni Sheni, Yar Halime, Mohammed Roni, Lele Eme, Le Daye, Lolo Swaro, Ay Dalal and Zambil Frosh.
\nWith this, she became the first Kurdish singer to record songs in the Kurdish dialect of Kurmanci. Maryam Khan has sung thirteen folk songs, six national and revolutionary songs and fifteen love songs.
\nIn addition to the songs she recorded on the bow, she also recorded a large number of other songs on Baghdad radio and at parties, some of which are still sung by singers. According to Kamili Kaka Min, the first announcer of Kurdish Radio Baghdad, Maryam Khan joined Kurdish broadcasting in 1942.
\nMaryam Khan had a good relationship with the singers of Baghdad station, especially Hasso Jaziri, Jamal’s mother, Almas Khan, Ramazan Jaziri, Ali Mardan, etc. She also sang with other artists such as Mohammed Arif Jaziri, Hassan Jaziri, and Almas Mohammed.
\nDespite the memories told by artists and contemporaries of Maryam Khan, many aspects of the artist’s comprehensive life remain unknown that require further field research and interpretation.
\nIn 1949, Maryam Khan suffered from kidney disease and died in July of the same year in Baghdad. She was buried in Sheikh Marf Cemetery.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
