Armenian Cinema in Buenos Aires and Siktirakia!!!
All turns harder, even to blog ofently!!!
But anyway, here we are from the far away lands of South America trying to keep the Armenian culture as great as we can.
Charles Aznavour is saying goodbye to the Argentinean audience next 3rd May. I think is going to be great, it’s incredible how he still can sing and make his show. I wish I could do the same when I get old!
I know I am always doing a kind of criticism of my beloved Armenian community from Argentina. But I have to be honest about something, thanks this community I knew lots of really nice people who I worked with and I know that I am still be working for many years. One of this cases is the film programmer, international chef and actor (I know for sure I am forgetting some more stuff about him) Jack Boghossian. Jack is organizing a complete schedule with Armenian films from Armenia. It’s a Cinema Club and its aim is to show the Armenian Movies and how our nation developed this art through the years. The first movie is going to be “The Return of the Poet” (Boedi Veradartzë), a film of Harutyun Khachatryan about the Armenian troubadour Djivani. If there is any tourist around here that would like to attend this event, take a visit to the AGBU of Buenos Aires, next Friday 4th april at 8 p.m.
On the other hand, let me give you another surprise. As you know I am always linked to music. There is a new band here…Really original…
Bass Guitars, Rhythm Guitars, Drums, Keyboards…and electric Bouzouki!!!
The name??? Siktirakia…kind of ottoman rock revenge against oppression.
Working on a book based on my Armenian grandfather (Kalfayan - not sure of sp.) born on Marash Turkey. Any leads/suggestions ? Write calfapaq@comcast.net Thanks MC
