Marat Harutyunyan ft. Alin Demirdjian - Episode 11: MARTUNI

Հերոս Տումեցիներին - Heros Tumetsinerin (Hero of Tum)
Music & Lyrics: Marat Harutyunyan
In 2016, some time after the "April War" between Artsakh and Azerbaijan, one of Marat's students at the Art School of Togh, about 14-15 years old, asked him to write a song for his father who fell in the war. He learned that the boy was from the village of Tum, in the Hadrut region, and was also from the same village as the leader of the Artsakh liberation struggle of the early 20th century: Tevan Stepanyan. The author thought of writing a song that should not be too sad and heartbreaking, but rather to inspire the child, give him wings and inspire hope and faith in the future for the new generations.
ONE PROVINCE, ONE SONG:
‘One Province, One Song’ («Մեկ Մարզ, Մեկ Երգ») is a project by the Argentinian-Armenian singer-songwriter Alin Demirdjian. The project aims to discover the diversity of the local musical scene and the cultural identity of each province (‘marz’) in Armenia and Artsakh.
