Singer Ciwan Haco said in [an interview](https://translate.google.com/website?sl=ku&tl=en&hl=tr&client=webapp&u=https://www.gazeteduvar.com.tr/ciwan-haco-ez-dixwazim-pevajoya-asitiye-bila-disa-were-haber-1597291&ref=botantimes.com) with Diljen Roni for GazeteDuvar that he didn't know how much he was loved until Batman left.

**I was surprise**

"Actually, when I started, I didn't know that there would be so much love. My nation's love for me, of course, I would not trade for the world.

When will I realize?

I realized it when I went to Batman. I saw so much love, I was shocked. Indeed, I have mentioned it many times.

This is a very valuable thing. But I can tell you this, there is no end to the music, but I got what I was looking for. The acceptance of my nation, the love of the country for me, as they love me, I love them more, but I have reached the picture, I thank them."

**Who is Ciwan Haco?**

[According to Wikipedia](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ciwan%5FHaco?ref=botantimes.com):

**Ciwan Haco** (born 1957) is a [Kurdish](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kurdish%5Fpeople?ref=botantimes.com) singer. He was born in [Tirbespî](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tirbesp%C3%AE?ref=botantimes.com) near [Qamişlo](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Qamishli?ref=botantimes.com) in Syria. His grandfather was originally from [Doğançay](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Do%C4%9Fan%C3%A7ay,%5FMidyat?ref=botantimes.com) in Turkey.[\[1\]](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ciwan%5FHaco?ref=botantimes.com#cite%5Fnote-1) After finishing high school, he left for [Germany](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Germany?ref=botantimes.com) in order to continue his studies. He studied musicology at the [Ruhr University Bochum](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ruhr%5FUniversity%5FBochum?ref=botantimes.com). He is now residing in [Sweden](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sweden?ref=botantimes.com).[\[2\]](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ciwan%5FHaco?ref=botantimes.com#cite%5Fnote-:0-2)

At the beginning he did not count with the support of his family due to fact at that time only the lower classes played music. But at 14 he released his first album and with 17 he performed for the first time in front of a larger public.[\[2\]](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ciwan%5FHaco?ref=botantimes.com#cite%5Fnote-:0-2) Ciwan Haco is one of the first [Kurdish](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kurdish%5Fpeople?ref=botantimes.com) singers to combine [Kurdish folk music](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kurdish%5Fmusic?ref=botantimes.com) with western style pop music, [rock](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rock%5Fmusic?ref=botantimes.com), [blues](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Blues?ref=botantimes.com) and [jazz](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jazz?ref=botantimes.com). In 2003 he received permission for a concert in Batman, which was attended by more than 200,000 people.[\[2\]](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ciwan%5FHaco?ref=botantimes.com#cite%5Fnote-:0-2) Ciwan Haco is known for his lyrics that are often purposely simple and to which the main recurrent theme is love, with variations around this same theme. The main song from his last album [Off](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Off%28album%29?ref=botantimes.com) (2006), [Li hêviya te](https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Li%5Fh%C3%AAviya%5Fte&action=edit&redlink=1&ref=botantimes.com) (*Waiting for you*) features vocals in both [Kurmanci](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kurmanci?ref=botantimes.com) and [French language](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/French%5Flanguage?ref=botantimes.com) (the latter being sung by a female vocalist).

Similar to other famous Kurdish musicians like [Şivan Perwer](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/%C5%9Eivan%5FPerwer?ref=botantimes.com), Haco sometimes uses poems by famous Kurdish poets such as [Cegerxwîn](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cegerxw%C3%AEn?ref=botantimes.com) or [Qedrîcan](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Qedr%C3%AEcan?ref=botantimes.com) in his songs [\[1\]](https://web.archive.org/web/20070117024314/http://www.ciwanhaco.net/eng/stran/gulasor/pirxwese.htm),[\[2\]](https://web.archive.org/web/20070116193855/http://www.ciwanhaco.net/eng/stran/gulasor/gula%5Fsor.htm). He has also recorded one of the novels of [Mehmed Uzun](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mehmed%5FUzun?ref=botantimes.com) named *Destana Egîdekî*.

Very popular in the [Kurdish diaspora](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kurdish%5Fdiaspora?ref=botantimes.com) as with the Kurdish people in the [Middle East](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Middle%5FEast?ref=botantimes.com), Ciwan Haco has given concerts in many parts of Europe.
