Reşîdê Baso (Rashid Baso; 1 August 1926 – 12 April 2006) was a Kurdish singer born into a Yazidi family in the village of Keleşbeg in the Talin area of Armenia. From the 1960s onwards he worked at Yerevan Radio, alongside dengbêjs such as Şeroyê Biro, Karapetê Xaço and Efoyê Esed. Unlike most of his peers he composed most of his own songs, among them "Felekê", "Peyawo" and "Delal ha delal", which were later also sung by other performers, including his son Dilovan. He died in Osnabrück, Germany.
