Over two million Kurds live in Khorasan, yet even now, as so often through their history, they still face the forces of erasure. In Forgotten Chords, Soran Mardookhi shows how folk music is intrinsic to the Khorasani Kurds’ culture and identity. The film introduces us to Kalimulla Tawahodi, a gardener turned musicologist and academic, who has played an invaluable role in sustaining the oral traditions of Kurdish troubadours, ashiks and bakshis through his field recordings of their music.
