Guest Posted November 17, 2000 Report Share Posted November 17, 2000 Here's a part of an interview with The Man himself: “When I first started singing here, people laughed at me. I think I was a little too advanced. These people were used to listening to Armenian music with old classical instruments. But I thought, ‘This is a jazz and rock & roll country,’ so I came with my guitar, drums and synthesizer. They thought I was crazy. It took time for their ears to get accustomed to it.” Here's a good article on him: http://www.laweekly.com/ink/00/31/lamusic2...0-babayan.shtml Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted November 17, 2000 Report Share Posted November 17, 2000 Mike, That's the problem. After a while, the human ears get accustomed to anything. Just be methodic and persistent. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Posted December 7, 2000 Report Share Posted December 7, 2000 I missed this thread, so I thought I'd resurrect it! To those that do not like Harout: Have you heard the Vol. 8 CD? How can you not like it??? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted December 7, 2000 Report Share Posted December 7, 2000 Mikey, get over it. Go dig up some of the stuff I've recommended at different places on this forum, try it, then we'll talk lol, actually, I can't even blame you; poor guy, Harut is probably most of what you know of Armenian music. (don't mean to be condescending, don't misunderstand, I'm just trying to understand your fascination with this kretin). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Posted January 12, 2001 Report Share Posted January 12, 2001 Maybe some of you like or don't like Harut.But I have a lot of friends who are not Armenians. They don't understand words of his songs but they like him because of his voice and maybe something more. When he singhe has something in his voice and you want to hear him. For me he is one of the best folk Armenian singers and I know a lot of Armenians who agree with me. I don't know much about his private life and I don't want to know. Maybe some of you don't like his songs or he is not in your style but it's not give you right to call him cretin or something like this.

That is so funny I had this Asian class-mate in HS (I can't recall exactly what nationality) and she once told me they play Haruts tapes during their parties. I thought she was pulling my leg, but then she started humming "Alagyoz Acherd" and I was ready to die of surprise How weird eh? APS. For the record, I think Harut has done a whole great deal for the sake of introducing and preserving armenian music in the diaspora (USA especially). Before his move to LA, it was all Turkish tunes during armenian gatherings. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted January 17, 2001 Report Share Posted January 17, 2001 quote:Originally posted by Sulamita: Before his move to LA, it was all Turkish tunes during armenian gatherings. Not turkish tunes! But rather the music brought here by the Western Armenians. Granted, half of them have turkish lyrics, but most/many were written by Armenians (often under pseudonyms).To me what Harout did was bring not only Beriutsi & Eastern Armenian music, but more importantly, much more contemporary Armenian music than the "kef time" Western Armenian groups play.
