Çêlî Mûsa Silêman

Şêx Çêlî Mûsa Silêman (1960-) grew up in an artistic family. His entire life has revolved around Şêblqasim Temple. He began singing the traditional songs as a child. The first stran he memorized was by Navxoş Ebdulxaliq, a Kurdish singer, and as he continued learning, he next moved to the songs of Xelîlê Xazî. He eventually married the love of his life and spent his days considering the distinctions of Shingali singing and the communal importance of the oral traditions, both sung and recited, to Êzîdîs.
