    ARMENIAN MELODIES COMBINED WITH JAZZ - VIDEO

    14:37 18.07.2013

    Syrian Armenian singer Lena Chamamyan, will host pianist Tulug Tırpan
    and one of the best cellists in Turkey, Ozer Arkun, as well as renowned
    kanun player Göksel Baktagir at a concert will at YıldızPalace in
    Istanbul tonight, the Hurriyet Daily News reports.

    Chamamyan, who combines jazz and classical Armenian music, was born
    in Damascus, where over the course of her elementary and secondary
    education she participated in many school concerts, the first of which
    she held at age of 5. She started to studying music at the age of 9
    and graduated from the economics management department at Damascus
    University in 2002. She studied at the higher institution of music
    in Damascus and graduated as a classical vocalist in 2007.

    She also joined jazz workshops. This resulted in the two being featured
    on each other's albums and many concerts in Syria and Germany. She also
    worked with many vocalists and musicians of different nationalities
    in many jazz festivals in Syria.

    The idea of the project was born before Chamamyan started to study
    music academically. Classical was mixed with oriental jazz and Armenian
    music to reflect the unique essence of her style as a vocalist. She was
    charmed from the very beginning by the idea of mixing simple oriental
    tunes with cords. Many friends from the higher institution of music
    helped her understand and conceptualize the project, the first of
    whom was Basel Rajoub, who arranged the music and managed the project.
