Kamancha from Karin by Vardan Hovanissian & Emre Gültekin
Kamancha is a piece by the bard Harutiun Sayatian, better known by the name Sayat Nova (1712-1795). Dubbed "the king of songs", he was the living incarnation of the friendship between the Peoples of the Caucasus. He sang in Armenian, but also in Georgian, Turkish and Persian. This poem dedicated to the bowed string instrument of Persian origin can be heard across the region. It is sung in Armenian in the spirit of Sayat Nova by Emre Gültekin from Turkey and Sepideh Raissadat from Iran.

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.
