AVE FENIX...Reborning to Log, Venice, Turkey, Georgia and others...


Hi to all!!!
I know i know, i am a liar...always saying i will log and then i disappear...like now you see me now you don't...

Ok, stop the stupidities!!! Here i am.

I left the logs when Karekin II arrived to Argentina. Maybe his materialism ruined my spirit, who knows?

During June and July my brother Kevork has been in Turkey and Armenia, where he met again with Raffi K. and Aram H., our soulmates in ArMeNia ! haha. I have been watching the video of the trip and i can assure that Raffi and Aram will not forget about my brother for a long time. Isnt true Raffi?
I must assume that Yerevan has changed a lot its physonomy, the urban style has changed, maybe its just an impression from the video i watched but well, must see it alive to re-confirm it!

I have been in Venice during August, and i will log separately about this, becuase it deserves a detailed explanation of an armenian world i did not know until last month and it really changed my life about HAYASIROOTIOON...

Congratulations about the ARMENSTOCK!!! I wish i was there seeing all that movement of armenian music and people playing... I feel so alone here with my band, sometimes we are looked as martians...understandable...its difficult to do Armenian Punk in Argentina ! ! !

I want to write some lines about the Georgian National Ballet that has been dancing in Argentina on August and September. It has been INCREDIBLE!!! I got astonished and i was touched by this caucasian young men and women that jumped and danced like lions. The georgian dance is totally different from the armenian. The georgian is more skilful but not rich as the armenian about the choreographic scenes. I mean, female dances were a few and not important as male dances, while armenians dances give importance to both, women and men. It's interesting when you see the cossaks dancing and you learn about georgian history, because then you realize why this nation has been a nation of fighters in constant war, the war of the mountains...
I have not seen the list of the dancers to notice if there was any armenian on the troup, but when i stared at their faces i realized that maybe some of them would be. They danced "the dance of the merchants of Tiflis", as i recognize it as the popular armenian SHALAKHO, that the old armenians merchants (the humoristic GINDONNER) used to dance as an urban tradition of the Armenian Tblisi of XIX Century...
When you carefully study this dances while you are watching them, you can realize how deep is the history of this nations, every step, every jump, every human-tower symbolizes an antique tradition of these nations, the root of identity...

Enough...

VIVA ARMENIAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA!!!
