Unusual... really unusual ?

PAREV TSEZ !

I can't write here as often as i'd like too, but my armenian world is still alive, and maybe more living than ever. Quite strange because even when i'm doing nothing for it, it all turns back to it ! There are moments like that... maybe i should take a break, but i'm not sure it's possible ! ;)

A recent example with a concert of the Sipan-Komitas choir last friday, for the farewell of its 83 years old leading chief, Maestro Garbis Aprikian (he has been leading the choir more than 50 years!). I didn't intend to go, quite exhauted those last days, but during last week, i've been asked more than once by different persons if i'do go there. I got cold and ill with fever's up & down so going at the concert was definitely out of my mind. Would you think that would suffice ?
On wednesday I got a call : another person offered her place to me cause she couldn't go as planned when she bought it.
Sometimes, you just have to follow the current...
So I packed myself well (the concert was in a huge & wonderful church of Paris, Eglise St Vincent de Paul), and went. It was as usual, full of people, sympathic with funny meetings, some pari djarbigutyun to imagine for getting correct place to listen in spite of the crowd seated, and the music was getting more and more pleasant as the songs followed one after the other... And more when the created songs of Garbis Aprikian have been presented !
Finally i was really happy to go... even if now my voice probably won't come back clear before some days but well, I must confess that my broken and uncontrollable voice is also quite funny to listen for me : i never really know how the sound will go out, surprise, surprise !

Anyway, initially I connected here just to show a little pearl that have absolutely no link with my blas-blas above (but it came to my wandering mind while writing...), so let's show it :

CHINESE SPEAKING ARMENIAN !!! :))

That's really worthy to see, the student needs translation for english, but he speaks armenian !!!

Hayde hima, dodo for me !
Have a nice week !
