Ara Dinkjian is best known as the founder of the highly influential and groundbreaking instrumental group, NIGHT ARK, which recorded four CDs for RCA/BMG and PolyGram/Universal. His compositions have been recorded in thirteen different languages by top singers and musicians throughout the world (including Eleftheria Arvanitaki and Sezen Aksu), proving that music is indeed the international language. His hit “Homecoming” (“Dinata Dinata”) was performed at the closing ceremonies of the 2004 Athens Olympics. Ara Dinkjian is also considered one of the top oud players in the world. He was chosen to represent the Armenians in the international oud festivals of Jerusalem and Thessaloniki. Ara Dinkjian uses La Bella oud strings.

I think it rather sounds Greek. The first one especially reminded me of the music of antiquity that we studied in college. Of course, the music historians can only speculate what music of antiquity sounded like! But to me this music definitely sounds to be with Greek influences. I have to say that I find Ara Dinkjian's music interesting. Edited by Anoushik
