Hi, my name is Raffi Meneshian from Boston, MA. I am currently an MBA candidate at the University of Massachusetts at Boston and the owner of Pomegranate Music, a world and classical music label. I was kindly asked to participate in the newly created "Life in the Armenian Diaspora" log here at cilicia.com by Raffi Kojian. I look forward to contributing to this log and hope I may have something to say that may interest some of you.
Since I am in the middle of finals in addition to promoting Pomegranate Music's first release- "Yeraz" by Gor Mkhitarian, I will probably be MIA for a week or so until things settle down. However, in the meantime, please check out some sound samples of "Yeraz" by clicking on the ad banner at the top of the page. Purchase copies for friends and family for the holidays if you would like.
The creation of Pomegranate Music came after visiting Armenia this past May and meeting numerous talented musicians who did not have a venue to display their enormous talent. While current trends in recorded Armenian music tend to favor Rabiz, syth based pop, and stuff put out by Nune, Aram Assatrian, and Tata, I felt that new artists and a fresh approach to Armenian music was needed via Pomegranate Music recordings. Thus, it will be the goal of Pomegranate Music to present world premier recordings of classical Armenian works, contemporary acoustic-based Armenian rock and pop, jazz, and experimental music to general listeners globally while maintaining a high standard of packaging and design for all of our CD's. Musicians featured on Pomegranate Music will all be residents of Armenia, with all recordings being done in Armenia. Our CD's will eventually be featured at all name brand music stores around the country in places like Tower, HMV, Virgin, and Borders all with the "Recorded in Armenia" stamp on each and every disc.
So, I'd better sign off and get back to work here. In the meantime, I hope you have the chance to consider investing in Armenia's future in music by supporting local Armenian musicians and enjoy some groundbreaking and world-class music via Pomegranate Music recordings. Hey, I ain't too proud to beg...
