Armenian Folk Music: Preserving an Oral Tradition
The Zulal A Cappella Trio is a musical powerhouse that gives life to Armenian village folk melodies through unique and original arrangements. Here, they explore folk songs as a living, dynamic form of storytelling, continually transforming and taking on new life, dialects and characteristics from one village and community to the next. Passed down through generations, these songs represent a long-standing oral tradition and an opportunity to keep alive a piece of our history told through the language and stories of our ancestors.
