Armenian song composed by Komitas Vardapet.
"Dle Yaman was written as a love song, but after the Genocide, the lyrics I miss my beloved acquired a different meaning. I miss my beloved not because hes late from tending the sheep in the mountains. No, he was massacred." Isabel Bayrakdarian.
"Dle Yaman" was one of the thousands of ancient Armenian folksongs collected and preserved by Komitas Vardapet (1869-1935), a composer, musicologist and the founder of modern Armenian classic music.
Komitas's life was spared through the intervention of a group of influential friends during the Armenian Genocide in 1915, but he lived to see everyone he loved to die in the Genocide. Komitas had never recovered from the emotional shock.
He died in a psychiatric mental institute.

This is incredible! Out of all the renditions of Dle Yaman that was available on iTunes, I chose yours because I think it captures the emotion of the son BEST! Thank you for your vision! And I saw your article in Yerevan magazine too!! :)

this is amazing. But the back drop is very , very distracting. But again, you are playing incredible, and the song is the saddest of all songs, yet so beautiful. Congrats, Armen..!
