Name: Mer Dan by Zulal A Cappella Trio
Duration: 1 min 43 s
Description: Mer Dan is an old melody from Shadakh, passed into the Armenian folk trove by the great Hayrik Muradyan. It offers us a meditation on the idea of shared earth and common ground. “Behind our house, behind your house, are fields of sweet clover. We harvest barley from the mountain Arnos, which we trade for red apples to mark our wedding day."

My Sweet Beloved 
A young man on his way home at night when he spots a young lady sleeping in a garden beneath a moonlit tree and he is struck by her beauty. A gentle wind blows, revealing her chest so radiant that the moon pales in comparison. His heart is immediately captivated and he steals a kiss. A crane flying overhead witnesses the scene and flies off with the gossip to spread across the village.

ποίηση: Jallaladin Rumi

Ω, πώς χωράει ο Αγαπημένος στην καρδιά μου.
παρακαλώ σε νύχτα πες του τα μυστικά μου

Χίλιες ψυχές σ' ένα κορμί
Χίλιες σοδειές σ' ένα δεμάτι
Χιλιάδες στρόβιλοι ουρανών
Στο μάτι μιας βελόνας.

Α, πώς κοιμάται ο Aγαπημένος στην καρδιά μου
παρακαλώ σε νύχτα πες του τα μυστικά μου

Zulal Armenian A Cappella Folk Trio

In Armenian, Zulal means “clear water.” Zulal, the a cappella trio, aims to create music that is like clear water—fluid, clean and unconfined. The group takes Armenia’s village folk melodies and weaves intricate arrangements that pay tribute to the rural roots of the music while introducing a sophisticated lyricism and energy.

Zulal’s singers, Teni Apelian, Yeraz Markarian and Anaïs Tekerian have been singing together since 2002. The trio has performed in such esteemed venues as the Getty Museum, Carnegie Hall’s Weill Recital Hall, New York’s Symphony Space and the John F. Kennedy Center for the Performing Arts along with performances for Cirque du Soleil, the Near East Foundation and the Silk Road Project.
