Armenia

Anoush features Muradian Ensemble interpreting a nice selection of Armenian folk dances. Band leader Hratchja Muradian plays kamantcha, while the other group members play kanoun, doudouk, clarinet, zurna, oud, accordion, & dehol. Guest soloist Liudvig Garibian improves the musical quality of the wind instruments. The Muradian Ensemble are a great example of a traditional Armenian group, with an highly arranged & polished style, very compelling.

Muradian Ensemble: Tsogik Sarkisian – vocals & kanoun (sitar); Vaghenak Tatosian – vocals; Tikran Boghosian – clarinet, zurna & doudouk; Kevork Hairapetian – clarinet, doudouk, & zurna, Kegham Haroutionian – oud; Samuel Sarkisian – accordion; Gagik Sarkisian – dehol; & band leader Hratchja Muradian – kamantcha with special soloist Liudvig Garibian on doudouk & various woodwind instruments.
