More nominations! This time with Canadian Folk Music Awards

October 11th, 2008 by Mariam

We are so thrilled to share more good news with everyone: we have been nominated for two Canadian Folk Music Awards! First, In the Light, is up for Best Traditional Album of the Year and then I have been nominated for Best New/Emerging Artist of the Year. Yes, this has been one incredible year…on so many, many levels.

We’ll be flying up to Newfoundland to perform at the Canadian Folk Music Awards in November! I’m so excited that I actually get to see this part of my country! I have heard so many wonderful things about the warmth and kindness of the folks in Newfoundland… looking forward to meeting as many people as I can while I am up there.

Thank you for all the good wishes!

We have enjoyed the new style and the unique vocalization of the Armenian folk songs and traditional music. This way you have introduced the ordinary music played for thousands of years in an extraordinary way and talent to bring it to the world, where it will be part of the multicultural music treasure.

“...My dream has always been to share the story of my culture with as many people who want to listen. My grandparent’s story -- especially accounts of their faith, resilience, and hope despite the many obstacles that they endured -- and more recently, the plight of the street children in Armenia -- the very children who taught me some of the songs which are now on this album -- have inspired me. I long to share these stories with others. And as I pass on this music, these stories to others, I hope that people will be as enriched as I have been.”
