But in long term, music the only element of life was the sole thing that could soothe his wandering and unstill soul and fulfill his free parts of inside. Zagros Mountains with its high, elevated figure that reaches the sky always encouraged him not to scare and keep on the road of art and music which was his most difficult choice in his traditional and religious society where he was brought up.

Dilan Bends

Most of his activities are based in field of Kurdish music; he has been verifying and researching the musical culture of five regions of Kurdistan. He composes his songs based on themes, tunes and modes of these regions. He has introduced himself to art society as a Kurd Musician. Kurd art with its magnificent, impressive and unique features has shown new ways in Iran music. It’s obvious that having competence and academic study are foremost and initiator in knowing and development of this art. In 2004, with all the barriers and limitation, he established Dilan group according to this view toward music and using his own different experiences in music. He named it to memory of the great brilliant Kurd-Iraqi artist Ghader Dilan (1928-1999).May be, it is the for first time in the history of Iran Music that some one chose a music group name after and in memory of a Kurd artist. Permanent works are remained from Dilan, and he was a forerunner artist in his time. Dilan worked as a musician when Kurdistan had difficult and unstable situations. Dilan went to Perak the capital of Czech Republic to continue his academic and scientific learning of music and education.

Nowadays, we can still hear Dilan songs among Kurd people everywhere; although he spent his last days of life in expatriation and being away from his home and he passed away in Perak. Dilan’s most important last will was to be buried in his hometown in Kurdistan and lay this request to his friend’s responsibility.
