‘BESAME MUCHO’ AND ‘CRANES’ IN ONE CD
Singer Sarine Balian is first time in Armenia. Urged by Narek Harutyunian, founder of Narekatsi Art Center, she arrived in to see her fatherland about which she only heard. "I have been here for a week and I learn new things and meet new faces every day. I have never been to a place where everything is written in Armenian, everyone speaks Armenian and all these is very exciting. Diasporans Armenians here do and feel the same things and we have the same nature and character but we seldom talk of that," she says.
Sarine did not came empty-handed; she brought her first album titled "Juxtaposed" that saw the light lately. Her live performance will take place at Narekatsi Center on September 12.
Born in Lebanon, she lived in America and performs jazz. She was captured by the freedom of jazz music when still a student at San Francisco University. "Jazz for me was a door of revelations that grants possibility of advancement and reincarnation. For instance, jazz versions of Armenian songs are very close to my heart," Sarine says.
She also teaches and thinks that contact with her students helps to even more crystallize her art. "Children prefer joyous and rhythmic songs. Regardless a song’s or a dance’s ethnic background people prefer the one that creates good mood," she says.
With regard to "Juxtaposed", it must be noted that it’s a wonderful collection of diverse ethnic songs by which Sarine once again confirms that love, human sadness and emotions are the same for all people despite ethnic, linguistic and cultural differences.
