Trapizoni Par from Karin by Vardan Hovanissian & Emre Gültekin
Trapizon (Trabzon) is a town on the north-east coast of Turkey. Situated along the Black Sea, it was an important stage for international trade between Europe and Asia during the first half of the 19th Century. Since the opening of the Suez canal, the town’s trading days have ended but it remains an important port for transport between the Caucasus and Iran. A large Armenian community of Hemshin people lived here, and they invariably played this dance in 6/8 at marriages.

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.
