about

ENG
This song tells the story of a couple and their invading mothers-in-law.

It was composed by Harout Pamboukjian, an Armenian singer from Los Angeles who is a true living star of Armenian music.
It appears on the album Hayi Achker released in 1986 on Parseghian Records.

We had Harout's blessings to cover his song. We wanted to emphasize the riff which we found very effective, so we totally rethought the bass drum groove to create more balance.

We also added to this piece a more jazz bridge in which the duduk, the most recognizable traditional Armenian instrument, is expressed.


FR
C’est l’histoire d’un couple et de leurs belles-mères envahissantes

Ce titre a été composé par Harout Pamboukjian, chanteur arménien de Los Angeles véritable star vivante de la musique arménienne. Il figure sur l’album Hayi Achker sorti en 1986 sur Parseghian Records.

Ayant eu les « blessings » d’Harout pour reprendre son morceau nous avons voulu mettre en avant le riff que nous trouvions très efficace, aussi nous avons totalement repensé le groove basse batterie pour créer davantage de balancements.

Nous avons aussi ajouté à ce morceau un pont plus jazz dans lequel s’exprime le duduk l’instrument traditionnel arménien par excellence.
