"Our music has travelled a winding, long, wartime, happy, unhappy, tragic road, with holocaust, suffering, joy. The fate of a people is perfectly contained in folk music. I consider my own folk music to be capable of being approached with the sophistication of jazz. I think that, in general, every true musician tries to assert his own culture to the highest standards," says David Yengibarian, an Armenian who has lived in Hungary for more than 25 years. He is one of the most sought-after composers and performers of world music in Hungary. On this album, he draws on his musical inspirations with his trio and two guest musicians, Vasilis Klapakis and Eva Alexandrovna.

David Yengibarian
(born in 1976 in Yerevan) began to play the accordion at the age of ten. From 1995 he continued his musical studies in Hungary where he soon became one of the most sought-after jazz and world music performers and composers. He released five CDs, played on many festivals and composed music for numerous theatre-pieces and films. The main source of inspiration for his individual musical world is Armenian musical tradition, European and American jazz and improvised music, Argentinian tango, and the ‘tango nuevo’ of Astor Piazzolla.

He founded his trio in 1999, and despite undergoing several incarnations in the last one and a half decade, it sustains its special sound consequently.
