The Armenian Folk Band Kusan performed for the first time in history
at the National Folklore Festival of Cosquin (http://www.aquicosquin.org/),
Argentina, on Monday, January 26. "Despite the genocide, they are
here. They kept their identity and cultural legacy and transmitted it
to humanity," said the presenter of the most important festival of
folk music in Argentina and Latin America.

"From the beginning, people connected with us. When we spoke about the
genocide people joined us. We perceived a feeling of solidarity," said
Enrique Avakian, director and creator of Kusan after the show. At the
end, they played traditional Argentinean songs like Carnavalito and
Zamba para olvidar with the typical Armenian instruments.

The Cosquin Folk Festival lasts nine days and gathers the most
important folklore musicians and bands of the continent.
