Ithikon Akmeotaton - Armenian Music Medley

[@georgemedzigian6356]

For a Greek he plays the oud like an armenian. Greeks armenians we are from the same mold and proud of it.

[@ahmetselcuk3205]

Bravo ellerin dert görmesin ilk defa böyle bir Ud Müziği dinledim

[@Rialas]

I agree Kosta. Do not let these comments upset you. Real talented musicians like yourself do not care about where an instrument came from. Real musicians listen to music from all over the world. No time for "Politics". Do what you do and play top class music as always.

[@wallyb77]

Yes! Turks and Armenians produce beautiful music! May they like together in peace in honour of their great and beautiful past, made of tears and laughs! Aggression and compassion!. May the horrors of their past exist only in campfire stories! You have my blessings from Minnesota!

[@AndyBlackoutDrums]

Why do I love Armenian/Greek music so much? Oh my god I could listen to this forever

[@Byrontheone]

Bravo, this is very exhilarating to dance to. We Armenians and Greeks love it.

[@gipss80]

I am greek and I feel for this music! Greetings to our brothers from Hayastan!

Αμιν αδερφέ μου

[@SassyAprilCats]

Beautiful ! "Shad Lav." Thank you from New York City !

[@omerodunc3613]

where I was born, this song was sung as "the chimneys of the school" and folkloric dance was performed. I learned from you that it is an Armenian song. thank you very much.

[@carolgarabedian01]

They sound great.

[@Heiko58]

very authentic, eternal music of brotherhood of man, of all people, with love, peace, thruth and light in your eyes!

[@melihjohn80]

Very talented, and very handsome as well:) the guy in black!

[@nobodyisperfect70]

My grandfather came from Armenia. I hope that some day I will visit this country. God bless you!

[@ithikonakmeotaton]

Ok..now look..No one asked you about where oud comes from and if this muscic is arabic or not!!Also no one say that oud is an armenian instrument. I am just sick of this stupid discussions! I dont want people like you on my site! I am a musician who loves music from all over the world..I dont like politics and historical bullshit! It has nothing to do with music!

[@retromolarpad]

Bravo!!! re, you guys deserve all the fame that's coming to you, im just glad I'm a small part of it being a fan of yours on youtube. Cant wait till you make it to toronto eventually and put on a show. keep up the great work and keep posting for us, your fans, here on youtube.

[@ivanivanov-fc8vy]

[@ahmetselcuk3205]

Μπράβο, μην ταράζονται τα χέρια σου, πρώτη φορά ακούω τέτοια μουσική ούτι

[@hasanonur45]

i think it´s a mixture of greek, armenian and turkish. it´s fantastic.their intention is to unite all the three cultures and they really made it.awesome!!thank you for uploading this video.we should really strive for peace no matter what the others say!!in these hard times,it´s important keep together!!

[@albertmusic83]

Fantastic! Thank you Ithikon Akmeotaton for let us listen and know beautiful greek and middle-eastern music! Greetings from Italy, γεια σας!

[@fedayi1177]

what the hell are you talking about...armenians have a huge variety of instruments, string, percussion, and woodwind...also, this music is very armenian. the first part is tamzara, and the second part is a village tune. both of these are thousands of years old

[@MuratAkancan]

I have merely seen and heard someone who can let the oud sound that clear and beautiful like you, Kostas! Thank you very much for sharing your beautiful music with us!

[@martyneczka282]

It's beautiful. The beautiful music played by very handsome greek men. Thank you so much dear gyus for sharing with us your personal emotions in such a beautiful music. Love and kisses from Poland from Martyna.

[@MichaelRettig-MA]

@ThaChosenChild The beat is Armenian...the instruments have been played in Armenia long before the modern day european sounding armenian music and this song and the dance that goes with it is unique to armenia. so i think that makes this an Armenian style song

[@MarkGavoor]

these guys are great! the recording quality is exceptional

[@EnriqueHerdel]

i would like to be armenian !

[@Manaritzis88]

Enrique Delgadiyan

[@hayots_lernashkharh]

[@AbstractMan23]

very nice presentation + music!

[@hasanonur45]

it is beautiful to see how cultures influenced each other!! it´s really obvious that they want to show that the three cultures can work together peacefully!!Go on with it!!

[@Haverinja]

Wonderful beats and melodies...Thank you for giving us a chance to peak in your wonderful and rich culture :)

[@aghzar]

actually this first part is a western armenian folk dance "tamzara". originating in kharpert, yerzinga, karin among other areas. you can find many videos of it on youtube. by the way anoush and inga's tamzara is not the real tamzara. their tamzara is in 4/4 while the real tamzara is 9/8 as in this video. the second part of the video is armenian too i think but i dont remember what the song is called. others have said its by ara dinkjian, that seems correct. he is american-armenian.

[@JuanHayrenik]

Hi, obvious I respect your point of view or opinion. All of we are here, in KZbin, to share opinions and in this case, Great music. Agree with you : Kostas is a virtuoso !! He plays baglama, oud, guitar, bouzouki, etc so excellent , and sings very very good too !!

[@SergeyS0505]

[@3rdStoneObliterum]

ARMENIA GREECE COUSINS 4EVER!!!!!!!!!!! O Greeks of Sivas, we were there together!!!!!!!! Ithikon kicks ASS with this medley. No mistakes. Great chops.

[@EdouardKutchukian]

Beaultiful music!

[@MRV1939]

God bless all Armenians , greetings from Canada

[@Liadance]

Oh my god what a bueautiful and divine music**

[@Pollomijo]

La musica armenia como la de cada pueblo refleja el vivir y el sentir, el pasado y el presente . Con sus alegrias y tristezas. Por lo tanto es muy triste dejar de lado años de sufrimiento ocultandose es que es solo musica. Eso lo hacen los gobiernos que tienen muerte en sus espaldas. Salud Armenios, la lucha sigue hasta que simplemente reconozcan lo que hiceron.

[@Phsaenger]

Lovely music. Thank you..

[@Rumce]

Yes this is Armenian music from Turkey. The music is composed by Ara Dinkjian. He plays the song together with Arto Tuncboyaciyan and Armen Donelian.

[@MarkOhanesian]

Great playing. So many hateful comments. And for the people whi call themselves Armenians that don't recognize this music, the first song is Tamzara, an old Armenian standard

[@Manaritzis88]

Mark Ohanesian traitors are they

[@realtsobi]

the best musician.....kosta u are the best!!!

[@TheNeogeo68]

Great oud word you do your family proud keep making music, for you have a gift!

[@sbchdg]

[@achmadinejad]

ooo......i like it... thanks for nice musik..

[@moH83md]

No matter if it is armenian, turkish or arabic. it is nice music and I think that all of these kinds of music share many common thing. but you know, the oud, givr that music an arabian spirit. I think! nice music.

[@antronig]

Muti-talented = oud,saz,lyra,bouzouki,guitar and sings too AND does it excellent.

[@PXaramillo]

[@xilofonia1]

[@shakehp]

perfection!

[@lugibuginamasruki]

it isn't armenian music!!! this is not a single beat of traditional Armenian music!!!!!! Armenian music is lively, spontaneous, beautiful and dance

[@Natalya112]

omg im in love with this! It also sounds really arabic!

[@hayots_lernashkharh]

It’s because arabs and armenians play the oud. the only difference is that the arab variant of the oud is slightly bigger and has a deeper sound while the armenian variant is slightly smaller and is a little more pitched

[@polopolak]

Bravo Armenians nice music , nice video

[@VaeVeroci]

great work! this is also played as a folklor song under kurds and zazas in eastern anatolia, called "tanzara"

[@ithikonakmeotaton]

Brilliant master musicians ❤❤❤🎉🎉🎉👋👋👋🍜☕👍🙃

[@suheyla77]

Beautifull music! Slm

[@antronig]

Excellent!

[@ealtinta]

@Arzive He was from a Serbain shepherd family and raised to the top through Devsirme system. Note that we know he was from a Christian Serbian family and one of his close relatives possible brother were the Patriarch of Serbia at those times. So he knew his family and his past. Many of these people were not very Orthodox Muslims either. Janissary were Bektashi a heteredox Sufi order which allows alcohol etc. So it is more complex than you think.

[@chixculub]

nice work

[@ithikonakmeotaton]

Costa Riala!!! Megale anthrope kai mousike!! Na eise panta kala!!!

[@hypyerlikaya70]

[@JuanHayrenik]

Evett ...... We gotta learn to live together , and differences gotta be a source of get us more rich in culture, not to separate.

[@timtehuber]

IMO music from that area of the world, the one thing they mastered. Is the ending of their songs. Its timing is perfect and intense.

[@Haroutbashaian]

very good so pretty

[@Rialas]

Kosta, this sounds like a very good offer. Can I please play at the wedding! Thanks.

[@Haroutbashaian]

We are waiting for more videos for you

[@assyrian2NV]

An old folk Assyrian/Armenian song and dance called Tanzara

[@JuanHayrenik]

Great words my friend !!

[@anniewho315]

God bless you all 🇦🇲❤️✝️🙏

[@Synochra]

@VartanMarkaryan nice to see that there are people who do not just think about how to kill each other... very beautiful music, but i just knew the turkish version till yet

[@Heiko58]

Nice with love

[@vtaralis]

@guitarriff1988 : This is an oud. I can't tell if it is the arabic oud or variations of it, but there are multiple versions of the same instrument on a regional basis.

[@lc818]

very nice

[@90sGasPrices]

they are pretty similar sounding. the music is much more fast paced and easier to listen to. im sure if you look up old style Armenian music and compare it to say music used in...oum kalthoums songs for example, itll be hard to tell the difference. great music on both ends!

[@Haroutbashaian]

bravo bravo astdvadz bahe kez

[@alexgramma4]

mpravo re paidia!

[@Haroutbashaian]

gia su Kostas ,i miss your new videos

[@ealtinta]

@Intramorph - If you look at more closely you will see that there were Turkish tribes who converted to Christianity and became Armenians or Greeks and there were Greek or Armenian people who converted to Islam and became Turks. I know you don't like it but before nationalism came to Ottoman Empire there were villages where Turks Greeks and Armenians were living together. Now can you tell me which one of them created this song? You like it or not we share the same culture.

[@topalyan3778]

Very good

[@Konyalizekibey]

udu calan arkadas guzel calmis eline saglik

[@Sarhat141]

[@SharkyJaws12]

@HBeale13 i didn't say that. i said this song doesn't sound like any other music, well maybe persian but not greek or turkish
