Polished Tsirani Wood?

[Arpa]

MosJan, this is for you.

 

We haven’t seen you in a while, were you there?

 

Duduksky?

 

Do we have to make duduks of “polished” tsirani wood now?

 

Can one play Polka on the duduk?

TUNES OF DUDUK IN POLAND

A recent international festival in Warsaw hosted participants from Armenia, Georgia, America, France, England and India. All states presented their unique national cultures.

The representatives of Armenia and Georgia performed on September 11. Duduk player Gevorg Dabaghian was the main soloist of the Armenian delegation. The Armenian ensemble was comprised of kamancha player Norayr Davtian, kanon player Shushanik Saghatelian, dap (tambourine) player Kamo Khachatrian, second duduk Emanuel Hovhannisian and singer Arus Gulanian. The concert was composed of solo duduk accompanied by kamancha, kanon and dhol.

Asked whether it is possible to awaken love for duduk and Armenian folk music among the younger generation, one of the musicians said: "The Armenian folk music is as unique and incomparable as the Armenians themselves. As to children's preferences I should say that their upbringing depends on us. Everyone should make efforts to raise children beautifully. Duduk is our national mentality, our soul. Tens of pupils and hundreds of students follow our footsteps. That's great."
