Melanouri

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."

Klaiei Mia Kardia

The upbeat sister to Mer Dan. Where the slower track offers a meditation on shared earth, this version of the song is a romp through the village where honey lotus and rose hip grow abundantly and lovers meet in a chest that is apparently large enough for mischief.

Mer Dan/Vai Vaveler

A dance song from Palu in 9/8time, the Tamzara originated in the days of the ancient Assyrians' conquest of Armenia; they honored “Tammuz” (the god of food and vegetation) through dance.
In the upper gardens lined with pear trees, boys tip their hats to the fair ladies who entrance them with their lovely hair. Dance the Tamzara and move your shoulders. In the Tamzara, lovers find each other...

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.
