Badarak - Armenian church - Kohoutioun- Antilias 1995

[mvs116]

How to those mantillas stay on? I sing in the choir too and I always tie mine under my chin.

[kaspariank]

just because they are singing in church while the holy messe going on, so in armenian church ladys must cover their heads... an old tradition...

[raffoulig]

It's a beautiful performance ! I think the choir was in much better shape back in 1995 than it is now.

that was the most beautiful Kohootyoon i have ever seen. ays inch keghetsig yev kerazants yerketsoghootyoon

[kaspariank]

this was the beginning at 1995 ( I was there to vacation and filmed this kohootiyoon by hazard) I think since they performed and now I'm sure they sing better...
