YEREVAN, MARCH 2, ARMENPRESS. The presentation of two new CD-s of
Armenian Navy Band Avant-garde folk-jazz band was held in `Yans' music
club on March 2. As `Armenpress' reports, in the press conference the
band founder Arto Tunçboyacıyan mentioned that his creative attempts
of different years were summed up in the CDs.
"Music is like an apple, to some - it may seem new and to some others
- not so new," Arto Tunçboyacıyan mentioned drawing parallels. He says
that the band creates Avant-garde folk style music, which allows "to
spice up" modern music with folk elements.
Among other things Arto Tunçboyacıyan noted: "Avant-garde folk, like
jazz, is not only one direction. We live a single life and the
presence of freshness, novelty and hope is of a certain importance.
All this is manifested in the Avant-garde folk style."
Arto Tunçboyacıyan was born on August 4, 1957. As a famous avant-garde
folk artist (singer, multi-instrumentalist), he appeared on more than
200 records in Europe before arriving in the United States, where he
went to work with numerous jazz legends including Chet Baker, Al Di
Meola, and Joe Zawinul as well as a semi-regular stint with Paul
Winter and the Earth Band. Arto fronts his own group called the
Armenian Navy Band. His brother Onno Tunç was also a musician.
