Hamchena Par from Karin by Vardan Hovanissian & Emre Gültekin
"The dance of the Hemshin » in 9/8 is danced in a circle. Hemshin refers to an Armenian people in the north-east of Turkey that speaks its own dialect. Although the Muslim Hemshin were spared during the 1915 deportation, a significant number of Christian Hemshin fled to Russia via the Caucasus and the Black Sea, creating substantial Hemshin communities in Moscow and Ukrainian port towns.

Since he was introduced to the duduk by his master Khachik Khachatryan, Vardan Hovanissian has become one of the most talented ambassadors for this ancient double-reeded instrument whose melancholy tones reflect the Armenian soul. He found his musical soul-mate over ten years ago when he met Emre Gültekin, who learned the art of the Turkish saz from his father Lütfü Gültekin and from Talip Özkan.
