Viyan Peyman (originally Gülistan Tali Cinganlo) was a Kurdish singer and fighter with the Women's Protection Units (YPJ) who was killed fighting the Islamic State of Iraq and the Levant (ISIL) in Syria in 2015.



Cinganlo was from the town of Maku, in Iranian Kurdistan. Before the Syrian Civil War, she was a teacher. Cinganlo was a folk singer, and wrote her own music in traditional Kurdish folk style. She was known as a dengbêj, a folk singer or storyteller, for her songs about the Kurdish resistance to the Islamic State in the Rojava-Islamist conflict, and her fellow fighters who had died.
Viyan en pasarelas de metralla bailando,
canta entre pesadas municiones de asalto,
siempre mirada alta a las estrellas, que esperan.

Viyan, luchando contra el eslabón perdido.
Bella, iluminada entre las sombras sin alma,
llora al universo que traiciona de nuevo.

(A Viyan Antar y Viyan Peyman)
