The Lebanese-Armenian band Mihr recently organized a concert in Beirut,
introducing the Armenian folk music art to the audience.
The concert was divided into chronological epochs starting from the
18th century western Armenia, passing through the late 1880's and
reaching the contemporary era. With the help of visual art done by
the painters Krikor Avessian, and Moushegh Karavartanian the band
showed the basic everyday life and the sudden changes that drastically
changed their lives.
The music focused on folk songs spread through the people at each
epoch, it included situations that covered basic everyday life events
like the music of a traditional west Armenian wedding to revolutionary
songs that gave the people courage during and after the great Genocide,
reaching the present. The band kept the Armenian spirit but gave
it a modern twist making it more interesting yet genuine for the
Armenian youth.
