<div>Hi group, <br/>I saw the Shogaken Ensemble perform last night at the Somerville Theater in Ma. <br/>What a performance!!! <br/>I've loved their recordings for years and finally I've seen them live. <br/>If you get to see them on this tour, please go, you'll love it. <br/>I also had the pleasure of meeting Harold Hagopian of "Traditional Crosroads" record label. He's a very nice guy.</div> <div> posted in <a href="http://tribes.tribe.net/armenianmusic">Armenian Music</a> - 2 replies </div>

<div>Earlier this month we lost Charlie (Sako) Sahagian. He was a wonderful musicians and truly a funny and caring person. <br/> <br/>http://www.iqaat.com/tmp/graphics/sako.jpg <br/> <br/>I posted a clip on youtube of one of his performances. <br/>http://youtube.com/watch?v=pRu16Wg3-M4 <br/> <br/>Charlie "Sako" Sahagian, son of Khoren Sahagian (Armenia) and Alice Koyoumjian (Turkey) was born on December 16, 1960 in Detroit, Michigan. He was educated in Detroit and served in the United States Army Reserves (1978) at Fort Leonard Wood, Missouri. Charlie was a gifted musician and entertainer (concerts, churches, parties, weddings, adult day care centers, volunteering.) He had a great love and respect for the elderly and for children. Charlie was a missionary to Uganda East Africa, Rwanda, Berundi, Peru and Mexico. He was a member of the Rock Four Square Church in Highland Park, CA and the Church of the Living World of God in Los Angeles, CA. Charlie is survived by his loving mother, Alice Sahagian, wonderful brother and sister-in-law, Johnny and Christina Sahagian, beloved nephews, Khoren and Aram Sahagian, and devoted friends and fellow missionaries John and Rosemarie Kizirian, Tony Nicholas, Kleon Dovan, Robin Hutchens and Vincent Di Paolo and all who could not be mentioned. Thanks to all. Charlie "Sako" Sahagian was truly a spirit-filled man and will be missed by all.</div> <div> posted in <a href="http://tribes.tribe.net/armenianmusic">Armenian Music</a> - 1 reply </div>

<div>Hi, <br/> <br/>Surfing the net I found a lovely Armenian cultural website www.hyeetch.nareg.com. From that website, you click on the icon that says "online book" and that brings up a book cover. You click on the book cover and you can read the book. There are several lovely sections-even some about traditional Armenian clothing and costume- and there is a section about "Music." <br/> <br/>I hope you enjoy taking a look as I did! (The costume photos are from some sort of research done by what appears to be pre-revolutionary Iranian scholars).</div> <div> posted in <a href="http://tribes.tribe.net/armenianmusic">Armenian Music</a> - 2 replies </div>

<div>Well-loved Boston musician Roger Krikorian sadly passed away August 10, 2007. <br/>A major fixture in the Middle Eastern music scene for many years, he was well-respected in the Armenian community as well as in music. <br/>I had the pleasure of meeting Roger for the first time when he let me sit in with his band at an Armenian picnic St. James had earlier this summer. He was very warm, a very nice person to meet, and I enjoyed playing music with him very much that day. <br/>Thank you Roger for all you gave to so many people. <br/>-Eric</div> <div> posted in <a href="http://tribes.tribe.net/armenianmusic">Armenian Music</a> - 0 replies </div>

<div>Hi group, <br/>Recently I found a copy of George Mgrdichjian's "Now Sounds of the Middle East" at Acme T.V. in Watertown Massachusetts. This shop is famous, and is the best place to find Middle Eastern and Bellydance recordings. It's Armenian owned, so naturally they have a great selection of Armenian music. I was so thrilled to find this cd, as the featured drummer on this is the late Ali Hafid, a Moroccan, he's one of my favorite drummers. Ali Hafid plays such great riffs on this, he really delivered the goods! George Mgrdichian is an incredible Oud player, my God! I highly recommend this disk. It has a great variety of Arabic, Turkish, Armenian, Israeli and Greek songs on it. And it even features wonderful renditions of The Beatles "Yesterday" and Dave Brubeck's famous "Take Five".</div> <div> posted in <a href="http://tribes.tribe.net/armenianmusic">Armenian Music</a> - 0 replies </div>

<div>Does anyone know the REAL lyrics in Armenian to Siroon <br/>Aghchig "sweet girl". (written by Udi Hrant Kenkulian in 1936) I have google searched (with various alternate spellings.) The only lyrics I can <br/>find are on the Touchstone circle dance library site <br/>and those are not the words being sung on either of <br/>the two vocal recordings I have (one is Brothers of <br/>the Beladi and the other (I believe) is by Richard Hagopian.) <br/>both vocal versions I have start with the words "Siroon Agchig". <br/> <br/>I play in a Middle Eastern band and we would really <br/>like to add this song to our repertoire. we have the sheet music and an English translation but would rather sing it in Armenian. <br/></div> <div> posted in <a href="http://tribes.tribe.net/armenianmusic">Armenian Music</a> - 1 reply </div>

<div>Steve Kouyoumjian is an Armenian percussionist from New England. <br/>He performed around the Boston area when I was a kid with George Abdo's band. <br/>I used to see the band perform at the (now gone) Averof in Cambridge Massachusetts. <br/>You can hear his fantastic drumming skills on George Abdo's "The Joy Of Belly Dancing" <br/>"More Belly Dancing with George Abdo" and "The Art of Belly Dancing". <br/>He's my earliest influence, and I still love to hear his old records. <br/>He and his wife now live in Maine and put on music and dance events there.</div> <div> posted in <a href="http://tribes.tribe.net/armenianmusic">Armenian Music</a> - 0 replies </div>

<div>Here is a music video from a concert that we were a part of. <br/>http://youtube.com/watch?v=IDpn8alR9eI <br/> <br/>The concert was really fun, they rented out the Orpheum Theater downtown Los Angeles and the band ELEMENT is amazing with some really brilliant musicans. <br/>http://www.elementband.com/ <br/>http://www.myspace.com/elementbandmusic <br/> <br/>They wanted an arabic feel for some of the songs so they got Faisal, David Martinelli, Ava Nahas (who's currently in Egypt playing with Raquy and Saiid el Artist... WooHoo) and myself to be an arabic percussion section. We are not on the CD version of the songs, Maybe <br/>the next one :-) <br/> <br/>I think most if not all of the songs in this concert as well as their current CD "YEV O PHE" are contemporary renditions of classic Armenian songs. <br/>http://www.cdrama.com/html/cd_rama_-_contemporary_28.html <br/> <br/>Enjoy, <br/>~D</div> <div> posted in <a href="http://tribes.tribe.net/armenianmusic">Armenian Music</a> - 1 reply </div>

<div>I am part of a paratheatre group in Berkeley California that will be learning the early Armenian choral work, "Sirt im sasani", as a foundation for a series precise ritual actions developed from the impulses within the melody itself. <br/> <br/>Our aim is not to "act out" the song or trivialize it into a series of story-telling gestures. Our aim -- and it s quite difficult -- is to find movements that can somehow contain and transmit the feeling and mystery of the song itself. <br/> <br/>The beauty and depth of this song is what carries us through the difficult passage of its containment and transmission. <br/> <br/>You can read more about this project and hear the song itself (on MP3) at: <br/>http://www.paratheatrical.com/actionlab.html</div> <div> posted in <a href="http://tribes.tribe.net/armenianmusic">Armenian Music</a> - 1 reply </div>

<div>Hey group, <br/>Check out the web-site for Traditional Crossroads: <br/>http://www.traditionalcrossroads.com <br/>They've got so many good cds available, much of it is Armenian music. <br/>It's a label founded by Harold Hagopian, son of famed Oudist Richard A. Hagopian. <br/>-Eric</div> <div> posted in <a href="http://tribes.tribe.net/armenianmusic">Armenian Music</a> - 0 replies </div>

<div>Hey group, <br/>The Armenian Duduk is said to be the oldest instrument in the world. <br/>Made from the heart of the apricot tree, it's one of the most hauntingly beautiful sounds to hear in a musical instrument. <br/>I'm amazed at how much contemporary music is featuring this instrument. <br/>Many years ago, I first noticed Peter Gabriel featuring it on his recording of Passion. <br/>In recent years I've heard it in everything from figure skating, car commercials, and mostly movies and t.v. soundtracks. <br/>Two highly profiled players to check out: <br/>Djivan Gasparyan and Yeghish Manoukian <br/>You can also find more info at: <br/>http://www.duduk.com <br/>-Eric</div> <div> posted in <a href="http://tribes.tribe.net/armenianmusic">Armenian Music</a> - 20 replies </div>

<div>Hey group, <br/>Today I'm remembering a great, wonderful friend of mine, Grigor Jinian. <br/>He passed away 2 years ago. He was my best friend, and the most incredible musician I'd ever heard. <br/>Grigor was a classically trained vilolinist from Yerevan, Armenia. I met him here in Atlanta when he moved here from California in 1994. I first met him in 2000. <br/>Grigor could play any kind of music, Gypsy was where his mastery worked its magic. <br/>Any of my music friends who heard him play were blown away. My favorite memory is when a key-boardist we were auditioning, heard him play for the first time, looked at me, blood draining from his face, and said "this guy plays like the devil." I laughed my ass off. <br/>I was always proud of him, I admired him so much. <br/>Grigor was my friend, a father-figure, teacher and my mentor. <br/>He was such a Master musician, his power was huge, it was like having Superman as a best friend. <br/>I think of Grigor all the time, I miss him today and wanted to continue to remember him. <br/>-Eric</div> <div> posted in <a href="http://tribes.tribe.net/armenianmusic">Armenian Music</a> - 0 replies </div>

<div>Djivan Gasparyan: <br/>"Apricots from Eden" and "I will not be Sad in this World" <br/>From the Master of Duduk, these two are my personal favorites that move my <br/>heart everytime. <br/> <br/>Also a correction: <br/>The Richard A.

<div>Hey group, <br/>I highly recommend this cd collection of traditional Armenian music. <br/>It's on the Celestial Harmonies label. <br/>It's a six volume set called "The Music of Armenia" <br/>This is a goldmine of music, I've loved this collection for years. <br/>It spans eveything from Choral music, to Duduk, Kanun, and Folk music, and more. <br/>This is traditional music, it is very different to the Turkish or Russian Armenian music. <br/>Very beautiful music, and heart-felt. <br/>-Eric <br/></div> <div> posted in <a href="http://tribes.tribe.net/armenianmusic">Armenian Music</a> - 0 replies </div>

<div>Armenians on 8th Avenue: <br/> <br/>This is a great cd of old recordings done back in the 40's. <br/>You can find it at http://www.traditionalcrossroads.com <br/>Lots of singers and musicians from New York City, this is a mix of Armenian and Turkish music, the great kind of stuff you'd hear in clubs and cafes back when. <br/> <br/>Kef Time: Traditional Crossroads <br/>Richard A.

Tons of great, ass-kicking Kef (party) music. <br/>If this cd doesn't move you, you're not living! <br/> <br/>Armenian Folk Music Through the Ages: Traditional Crossroads <br/>Richard A.
