Most songs listed may be heard on www.hamovhotov.com under Music. Some may have clips also.

 

May I add one?

"Meghavor enq" by Olgav Ayvazyan and Arman is a good one off of the Armenian Duets album. Do check it out.

is it just me or have u noticed how andre's songs have stupid lyrics? i mean the music is good but the lyrics are so made up that it kills the song...i mean what the h*** is Sone Le Le...almost all the songs in the new album have weird lyrics like that, one is akh nanar nanar, the other one is nino yar...i mean u wana attract the young generation u should limit the use of that type of lyrics and take time to write words that actually make sense and are not just random syllables put next to each other...

sry had to say it, its been bugging me for a while, those lyrics wasted his almost-perfect new cd

First off, just to share, it turns out that rhythmic and metric vocal improvisations in Armenian Music such as Nanar Nanar and Nino Nino, having the component Nan or Nin, are not improvisations at all, but the echoes of ancient devotional and religous chants. If you inquire, Nane is a well established mother deity in the Armenian and Hittite pantheons. I can't recall where I have read this, but I remember the author making clear and supported linguistic connections. So whenever we hear Nane/Nineh/Nino in surviving folk songs, they are more than just verbal synciopations (Not as if they weren't brilliant enough just being that.) Now that that's out the way...

 

Do you mean to tell me the "young generation" is "chill" enough to prefer self-repeating, thin-to-anorexic romantic cheese lyrics to contents that actually have to do with our musical heritage and culture? Vaaay Meeeez ;)

 

(hayemyes jan, I write this with uttmost respet: PLEASE don't take it personally. I just don't think something as beautiful as Sone Le Le is just random syllables :)

no i don't take it personnally cuz ur post is respectful...

i know that some of those "syllables" have ancient armenian perhaps pagan roots...i have received alot of education in armenian history...its just that i find that those let's call them words, are being used for the sake of making a song in a quick and efficient manner...i can understand that some of the songs include those, but basing all the songs on lyrics such as "ay nino yar nino yar jan jan nino yar nino yar jan nino yar" is somewhat ridiculous and effortless...as much as it is nice to imagine the young generation dancing on that, but in my opinion u play that in a club and ppl will look at each other and start lauging...the problem with armenian music today is that its not tangible to the youth...the songs are either remixes of old tunes whose words, as nice as they are, won't fit today's reality (you don't see two youngsters runnin after another on a wheat farm these days), or they're songs that are copied off greek or turkish tunes...i found the music on andre's 1000 angam cd amazing, i just found it a shame that the lyrics were like that for most of the songs...

 

on another but related issue:

dont get me wrong, im not sayin to leave out those old tunes, but don't u thikn we have a problem when we have 20 remakes of dle yaman (im not talking about live performances, but rather recordings done in studios) and 10 remakes of horovel? yes those are precious songs, we ought to preserve them and hold on to them as much as possible, but we also need to create new masterpieces, which need not necessarily be totally american or russian type of pop songs (like the government in armenia wants it to be) so that we're sure not to be labelled as oriental type of music...we should take out the scare we have of being labelled rabiz or eastern influenced or wtvr...we should rather try to avoid to put those in our music, but still make it armenian without americanizing it with slow ballads like the one we're sending out at eurovision this year

we can make new songs put meaningful lyrics to them and perhaps include some "armenian heritage material" and be still up to date...it's just rare are the ones who actually try that, and those who do are either discouraged on the basis of being labeled rabiz or dnt have enough $ or connections to make it to the top...
