Info : Founded in 1991 by reed virtuoso Gevorg Dabagian, the Shoghaken Folk Ensemble uses only the traditional instruments of Armenia. The group aims to recreate the authentic sound of Armenian music as it was performed in past centuries, without external instruments or influences. Dabagian is also the featured performer on THE MUSIC OF ARMENIA, VOLUME THREE DUDUK; the ensemble’s kanon (zither) player, Karineh Hovhannessian, is the featured performer on THE MUSIC OF ARMENIA, VOLUME FOUR KANON. The drone instruments and the drum on both of those recordings are also played by members of this ensemble.
The vocalists with the ensemble are all noted soloists in their own right: Hasmik Harutunian is one of Armenia’s best-known folk singers, and specializes in the songs of Western Armenia. Lida Zakarian’s distinctive voice appears in both folk music concerts and in performances of contemporary music in Armenia. Artavazd Voskanian sings classical and sacred music as a soloist with the Armenian Chamber Choir, as well as folk music with Shoghaken.
