It is with a very personal album that André Manoukian reveals himself for the first time and in music on his origins and his history; mixing his roots and their memory with what animates him today, thus creating a majestic and solar album. “Anouch inspired the song that gives its title to the album. It’s a walk. And that’s good, Anouch was a hiker. Anouch was my grandmother. In 1915 she walked 1000 km from Amasya to Deir Es-Zor. If she survived, it was because she had a big mouth and knew how to move the Turkish commander of the convoy who deported her. Anouch, in Armenian, means sweet, sweet. That’s good, music is sacred and… sweet. » An album between abundant creativity and personal sincerity, opening a musical door on the Middle East.

Visual proposal for the new album of the artist André Manoukian, on the theme of Armenian Jazz. It is to the festive Orient of his ancestors that André Manoukian now directs his piano accompanied by a cosmopolitan crew: Iranian drummer, Turkish cellist, Syrian Shéhérazade, Armenian duduk, rhythms “alaturka” push the geographical and mental boundaries to draw the contours of an ideal Orient, between Vienna and Samarkhande, between Satie and Borodin, between trance and ecstasy, between Istanbul and Yerevan.
