I love Armenian music, When I say Armenian music I don't mean Tatul or Armenchik (although he works after 4 shots of Grey Goose), but the ARmenian music that I have always adored is the melow and a little rebelious Armenian music.
It's not too popular, but whoever listens to this kind of music loves it !!! Lilit Pipoyan and Armen Movsisyan fall into this category....
So, Just to prove how awesome UCLA is, not that you didn't already know, my Armenian teacher got Lilip Pipoyan and Armen Movsisyan to come and sing LIVEEEE in my class!!!
It was one of the coolest experiences EVER!
You may know Pipoyan from the album that Rouben Hakhverdyan and her did together, EIther way, she sings the songs my mama sang for me when I was very little. Her voice is the nicest sound next to my mom's voice.
Pipoyan ended her line of songs singing Kilikia... (I have it on video, but don't know how to post it up).
A quick fact about her, She is also a professor in Armenia and she was SHOCKED that students bring their little pets to school with them...
Movsisyan was amazed that my professor told him to sit on the table, he was confused at how that was completely proper. After he sat down, he concluded that it's America afterwards.
He sang many songs we all love and ended with a song that we all could relate to... He sang a song that made my eyes wet, titled Վեր կաց եղբայր իմ. This song was about the men who fough in Kharabagh... he ended with a song about missing our homeland (Կարոտ Հայրենիքի Հանդեպ), our Home...
