Author of the lyrics of the famous song "Adana," American singer and
composer Daniel Decker is in Yerevan. Upon the initiative of composer
Ara Gevorgyan and thanks to cooperation with 20 renowned musicians
from different countries, "Adana" sounds all over the world today.
According to Decker, "Adana" has helped change something to the
better in the world, namely raise the awareness about the Armenian
Genocide worldwide.
"I started my cooperation with Ara with the song "Mush." It was my
first acquaintance with Armenia. I started studying the Armenian
history, and I'm really interested in Armenia, I constantly learn
something new about your country," Decker said. He is confident that
as time passes, everyone will come to understand that what happened
in 1915 is an irrefutable fact.
"What I like most in Armenia is its people. It's not me that should
speak about the hospitality of the Armenian people, their literacy
and culture. I love both Armenians living in Armenia and Diaspora,"
he said.
Decker's cooperation with Ara Gevorgyan will continue. Besides a joint
concert program, they will present the song "Love each other," which
is about peace. It will again be performed by most popular singers
of the world.
"If we managed to sing about the Armenian Genocide, singing about
peace will be much easier," Ara Gevorgyan said.
