We were fortunate enough in tonight's In All Languages to have Zulal, an Armenian a cappella trio comprised of Teni Apelian, Yeraz Markarian, and Anais Tekerian, record a live set for us and talk to us about their interpretations of the folk songs of Armenia plucked directly from the historic villages and past of Armenians.
We then listened to the entirety of Zulal's two studio albums to date, "Zulal" (2004) and "Notes to a Crane" (2007). Learn more about Zulal at zulal.org.
To round off our program, we listened to Isabel Bayrakdarian, one of the world's leading sopranos, on her album "Gomidas Songs." The album includes the music of Gomidas, the important Armenian priest, composer, singer, and, most importantly, ethnomusicologist. On the album, Bayrakdarian sings with the Chamber Players of the Armenian Philharmonic Orchestra, except on tracks "Unabi" and "Shooshigi," where she is accompanied by Serouj Kradjian.
