by MusDAsk Me No Questions showcases self-taught duduk virtuoso Djivan Gasparyan performing folk songs and melodies from Armenian pagan and Christian traditions. The duduk is one of the oldest wind instruments in the world, a cylinder wooden flute dating back as far as 1200 B.C. Its one-octave range forces the player to constantly adjust his fingers and lips to compensate for its inherent limitations. Winner of four gold medals in the worldwide UNESCO competitions, Gasparyan demonstrates an astounding mastery of this technique with warm and soothing results.
