Armenian folk music in Detroit, Michigan!
We are here in Detroit, Michigan… just missing the severe weather systems, and waking up this morning to beautiful sunshine! Thank you, Lord! It is quite glorious here…
We had a great flight over and were welcomed by one beautiful airport - wow! Stunning, especially that colourful tunnel guiding us to our luggage… my Little One was mesmerized by all the colours, and like a good tourist, I just had to ask my husband to take a photo… or two.
Salpi Toroyan, one of the wonderful organizers of this concert, met us at the airport. What a gracious, kind man! He is so hospitable, caring and conscientious, making sure we have everything we need, wanting to see it that we are comfortable and happy. I am deeply moved by his kindness. He has been the main contact person for us, and we are so thankful to him and to the entire organizing committee at St. Johns Armenian Church for everthing they have done thus far! We can’t wait to meet the rest of the community here!
The guys are on the road today; they will arrive, Lord willing, this evening and we’ll head out for some dinner together. So many amazing restaurants to choose from, especially Middle Eastern ones that we have noticed while driving around a bit - I will let my husband take care of finding a place for us to eat…
I have added a video in the post below of us rehearsing for our show… Enjoy!

Mariam,
It was such a huge pleasure to be there with all of you and see you and the band in concert. You all were phenomenal, so genuine, so warm, so lovely and spirited, so inclusive - very top quality vocal and music. Just loved it so much. Take good care!! Many blessings always.
