In this picture taken on May 1, 2023, Syrian-Kurdish refugee and musician Norshean Salih, 23, performs at a restaurant in Arbil, the capital of the autonomous Kurdish region of northern Iraq. Onstage in Iraq's Kurdish capital of Arbil, two Syrian sisters played the melancholy music of their people, the Kurds -- melodies that echo their own story of suffering and displacement.
