The Kamkars (Kurdish: کامکاران, Kamkaran, Persian: کامکارها) is a Kurdish musical family group of seven brothers and a sister, all from the city of Sanandaj, the capital of the Kurdistan Province of Iran.
The group has performed numerous concerts around the world, including their performance at the 2003 Nobel Peace Prize ceremony honoring Shirin Ebadi.
After six years of absence, the Kamkars returned to the stage on 11 January 2024, with a concert titled Living Fire at Tehran's Espinas Hall. Blending Kurdish music, classical Iranian pieces, and global influences, the performance featured their signature fusion of traditional melodies with Western string and wind instruments.
