Kurdistan, a historical center of music:
In this regard, Evliya Celebi characterizes Abdal Khan, the Kurdish ruler of Badlis, as a significant musician of his era:
He has a very high and melancholy voice, and when anyone hears him take the daire (frame-drum) into his hand and perform a taksîm to the couplets of Hafız, or sing a kâr, a savt, or a zecel, paying attention to the twenty-four rhythmic cycles while singing and beating the def, would leave off his business and stand totally amazed.
