'REMEMBER' - ARMENIAN MUSICIAN'S NEW SONG DEDICATED TO GENOCIDE CENTENNIAL
12:45 * 07.10.14
The project is the brainchild of Armenian singer and musician Ara
Gevorgyan who is going to release a new music video in commemoration
of the Genocide centennial.
"I have now written a new song which has been recorded in both Armenian
and English. The Armenian version is entitled 'We are and We will Be';
the name for the English variant is 'Remember'. The English text's
author is Daniel Decker from the United States. The Armenian text
was written by Levon Blbulyan," Gevorgyan told Tert.am, introducing
his initiative.
Remembering the song's prehisitory, the musician said that they
launched the project with the late writer and satirist Aramayis
Sahakyan. "Then we talked to Henrik Anasyan, a wonderful musician
who lives in the United States, but because what he had written
was too much to the point and featured fight and cruel episodes,
we turned to Levon Blbulyan for mitigating all that a little bit,
and I think it turned out a very good text," he added.
Gevorgyan said they have recorded the song under the guidance of the
State Philharmonic Orchestra's chief conductor, Eduard Topchyan,
and the director of the Armenian State Academic Choir, Hovhannes
Chekijyan. He thanked the Public Television of Armenia and the National
Cinema Center for the support.
The music video, which is still half-finished, has been shot at the
Genocide Memorial Park. Gevorgyan sayshe hopes that the project will
be really fine after it is complete.
But he said it isn't their end-goal, as the group's next step will
be achieving an international reaction. "We have already got an
agreement with Minister of Diaspora Hranush Hakobyan for asking the
the diaspora choirs which came to Armenia to sing the song to perform
it in English in their streets on April 24, 2015. The negotiations
are now in progress, and we are seek an international reaction to
have it broadcast by TV companies in different states," he added.
