Well, the verdict is in... I think I'm officially a Gor groupie! :) haha...
Last night I went to this amazing event called "Songs & Flight". It was at someone's beautiful home (forgot their name), in their beautiful garden. There was a stage set up and everything! The performances were all incredible, except this radio-wave instrument... I didn't really understand, but none-the-less the musician (odar) played Armenian songs, so it was "in" in my book. There was a wide variety of performers, but the ones I liked the most were Gor (of course, especially "Sassountsiner"), Lori Tatoulian (HILARIOUS!!!!), Zoulal (group of 3 females from NY singing acapella - BEAUTIFUL!), and In Progress (a So. Cali band with young musicians). Apparently Songs & Flight is not new, even though it was the first I ever heard of it. It just so happened that last night, it was "Armenian Night" and so all the musicians were either Armenian, or playing Armenian. Maybe that's why I enjoyed it so much? Perhaps!
I think the best part was that Zoulal and In Progress played and sang songs that I knew and loved! For example, "Sareri Boyin Mernem" (might not be the real title, but it's what I call it), "Sari Siroon Yar", "Ghapama", "Aylookhs", etc. They were excellent!
I was especially happy to see SO many young people, and although some of them might not have been there cause they love Armenian music, the atmosphere was created for them to mingle with their friends and indirectly support/listen to Armenian music. (Maybe we can brainwash them without them noticing). :) The event was a GREAT IDEA! I hope it gets repeated more often.
As for my fellow Gor groupies, he has a "concert" at Harvest Gallery on Brand in Glendale, on Saturday, June 19 at 8pm. See ya there! :)
TSUH! :)~
p.s. - the packing has started!
