Today on the day of Newroz Kurdistan Network is proud to present a website for Mazher Xaleqi one of the greatest singers of Kurdistan. The latest member of Kurdistan Network is Mazher Xaleqi and the adderss of the site is www.xaleqi.com and its made by Studio Sine. Studio Sine has previously made websites for several famous Kurdish artists such as Naser Razzazi – razzaz.com and Kale Ateshi – kalateshi.com.
Mazher was born in 1938 in eastern Kurdistan -Kurdistan of Iran- and in the city of Sine. He started to sing when he was in primary school at the age of eight. The school music teacher gave him extra courses to teach him to read notes, and also learn Kurdish and Persian Modes (Maqam. he got more music lessons from Kurdish master musician Hassan Kamgar. One year later Mazher was invited to sing in his town radio, Sanandaj, at the age of twelve. He became well-known soon in all regions which were covered by radio Sine Signals. He had weekly performances for nearly seven year. Unfortunately all performances were live and there are no recordings except possibly a few from 1958. Mazher Xaleqi left his kurdish city Sine, to study at the Tehran University where he obtained a doctorate in physics. In the summer of 1958 he started a new career with radio Tehran.
The rich Kurdish folksong and his background helped him to become a close friend to most Iranian conductors, Such as Hananeh, Kasravi, Tajvidi, Yousefzamani, Mirzade, Naseri ... etc. He has recorded more than 150 pieces of Kurdish folk melodies with several types of orchestras, such as the Tehran Symphonic, Cultural Ministry and the radio Tehran Orchestras. He left Iran after the 1979 revolution when music became prohibited. Before leaving Iran he recorded an album of twelve songs for his people. Mazher continued with music in exile and gave his oppressed nation hope and happiness in the hardest of times, when the Iraqi regime started to commit Genocide on the Kurds. The recorded folk music of Mazher is an art link for three generations. You can find Kurdish literature, folk customs, modern and classical music among his recorded songs from the fifties.
