Ancient or folk?

[artavazd]

I had the fortune of listening to a beautiful performance of Sareri Hovin yesterday evening at a commemorative event. Great story sung in Armenian, Turkish, and even Persian. The story is about a Muslim lad who falls in a forbidden love with a Christian lass.

EDIT: Boyit mernem Arto jan!

EDIT 2: Arto manem gali Adana yerkin bayc chem karoghanum jarel. Mek hat jareci ( http://youtu.be/BHHiPLG57S8 ) bayc vorak@ ahavore. Karoghes indz oknes yexpayr? Shnorakal em yes.

The song is an Armenian song using Armenian melodies. It can be translated in Chinese, but still wont change the fact.


Heres the song about Adana you wanted.

Heres another traditional song using traditional instruments. Take note of the mens dress. The flaps coming down their shoulders and arms, go back to the days of Achamenid Persia, where the nobility would sling their coats over their shoulders and the sleeves would be flapping. These costumes in the video are a representation the dress the Armenian nobility wore.
