Sibil Pektorosoglu took Istanbul by her Armenian song
Turkish Armenian singer Sibil Pektorosoglu has performed a poem by
renowned Armenian writer Hovhannes Shiraz called `Letter' and
attracted thousands of Turkish and Armenian fans.
Sibil, who is of Armenian origin, was born in Istanbul and lives
there. The song has a video which is being televised by Turkish
leading musical TV stations and aired in Istanbul.
Armenian singer has had an exclusive interview with `Ermenihaber.am'
news website.
`I started from St. Vardanants choir. I remember Armenian songs and
music happened little in Turkey, thus I entered the choir in order not
to starve for Armenian music. The choir has had a great contribution
in the development of my singing,' Sibil says.
Last year the singer released an album called `Sibil', where some
Armenian songs, including `Ter voghormya', `Cilicia', `Letter' could
be found.
`This album is the dream of my life. I've always dreamed to release an
Armenian album. Due to my relatives, I managed to implement my dream.'
To the question if she has any problems in Turkey because of her
Armenian origin, Sibil says; `I've not had any yet. When the video was
produced, it was positively assessed. Many people say they listen to
Armenian music.'
Sibil says many listen to `Letter' by Hovhannes Shiraz, though they
say they don't understand a single word.
`When we were working on the video, the staff was singing that song.
People asked the song written in Latin letters in order they could
sing it with me.'
This talented Armenian singer visited Armenia in 2001. She has planned
to visit our country again and to stage for her Armenian fans.
