Kürdi Curcuna from Armenia (“Basa bela“) (with notes)

The recording is taken from Bijan Chemirani’s album “Eos“ (2001). The first improvisation of the original recording is cut due to the educational purpose of this video. Musicians: Levon Minassian, duduk Stelios Petrakis, lyra & saz Bijan Chemirani, daf & reeq The score is written by Christos Tsiamoulis. For the video I used photo of the painting “My Armenia“ made by Sevada Grigoryan (1959-).
