Haig Yazdjian: Talar 1996


Born in Siria from Armenian parents, he has been working and living for more than twenty years in Greece. It is here where he discovered the enchanting elements of the music from the East.
                                   

He can play various instruments such as the nay, cümbüs, nashatkar or percurssion, but it is with the oud ( Outi ) with which he expresses his permanent musical search. This search , by the way , transcends time and geographical borders.
                                      


The publishing of his first album TALAR, edited in 1996 by LIBRA MUSIC ( Greek alternative label ) , made his popularity rise, but above that, launched him as one of the promises of his generation in composing.
