Hovanissian, Vardan & Emre Gultekin - Adana

Vardan Hovanissian (duduk, Armenia/Belgium) and Emre G?ltekin (saz, tanbur, vocals, Turkey/Belgium) find each other in a new duo commemorating the Armenian Genocide centenary. The project is a symbol of reconciliation, celebrating the sound of the Armenian duduk, accompanied by the Turkish saz with texts in Turkish and Armenian. Feelings of melancholy are evoked and juxtaposed to more cheerful melodies, born from a shared passion for music, demonstrating the ability to revive history in a positive way. Accompanied by a number of renowned guests (from Armenia, Turkey, Syria and Belgium) creating a rich sound palette, traditional melodies rub shoulders with own compositions.
