In Search of Duduk... Master Player, Martin Ghazaryan Part 1

ARMENIAN DUDUK
SIRETSI YARIS TARAN (They Took My Beloved Away)

Searching for Martin Ghazaryan prompted me to prepare and post this clip, so if one knows of his whereabouts to let me know.
I have been trying to locate him for the past 3 years with no success.
I believe, he has made a recording of an audio CD in Chelyabinsk of Russia to the best of my knowledge !
He plays Duduk, like no one I ever heard; and I have heard almost everything. In my opinion, he could be considered one of the masters of duduk in the world and a playing spirit only equal to master Djivan Gasparyan(Jivan Gasparian).
It is a shame that such a talented master Duduk player goes unnoticed, unknown and nowhere to be found !
I only have a 10 track audio CD dated 2003, recorded somewhere in Russia, perhaps Chelyabinsk ! A CD cover in Russian titled "Duduk Sings", AND HIS DOES, MIND YOU !
Arranged by Narek Gegamyan, Accordion by Armen Janikyan, drums by Vahan Gegamyan, sound director, Ruslan Bajhok.
When I first heard this CD in a little outfit downtown Yerevan, I could not believe my ears; the sound was heavenly...
If anyone should know of his whereabouts, please contact me in person and I would be very grateful.

The soloist is incredible. I just wish that the background was a bit more interesting and not synthesized...

[turan6510]

Ей , ты переселенец из киликии (СУРИЯ) !,,, Лучще ни говори про истории . Вес мир знает кто вы такие. У армян истории нето. "История армении" сплошная фальсификация. Доказательства : те земьли который сегодня временно вы сушествуете ни 1 см. не армянский. Запомни : армяне на КАВКАЗЕ не аборигены. Они с 1828 -го года квартиранты РОССИЙСКОЙ империи. А мои предкие 3 000 лет тому назад отрубили голову царя КИРа.Встречали Александра Макед-го и его кормили золотой... Вы просто подхальимы и ...

@turan6510 Послушай меня хмырь .Когда армяне играли на Дудуке (Русские его прозвали - а в Армении его зовут Циранапох) - вас хмырей туркоязычных и не знающих своих корней в истории не существовало .Вашему государству всего 100 лет с лишним а истории дудука больше 3000 лет и мир признал что этот инструмент исконно армянский . И вообще писать на русском научись потом гавкай хмырь недочитаный.

Duduk or Narmeh Ney , is an ancient 2500 year old instrument. native to Iranians ,Armenia was a part of Iran until 200 years ago,Duduk was played in the region of Armenia, Kurdestan and Aturpadegan( Azarbaijan) . there are many style of playing duduk, The Armenian, The Kurdish and Azari, and later days about 800 years ago when Turks entered the Iranian plateau they used duduk in their music and they call it MEY, their style of playing is the turkish play, it is very nice just like the armenian
