Hayk Karoyi - Taq Arevi Tak

Feb 16

Hayk Karoyi's latest album is a masterful fusion of traditional and modern sounds that showcases the artist's unique cultural identity. As an Armenian multi-instrumentalist skilled in woodwinds, Karoyi has created an album that is a synthesis of acoustic instruments, field recordings, and electronic elements.

The album is a journey through Karoyi's subconscious, as he uses his traditional instruments to explore the full spectrum of his cultural identity. As a mixed heritage artist, Karoyi does not try to be or sound purely Armenian in his music. Instead, he draws from his influences in both East Mediterranean and Armenian cultures to create a sound that is both familiar and new.

One of the standout tracks on the album is "Taq Arevi Tak" which is also the title of the album, features a mesmerizing blend of electronic beats and traditional Armenian woodwinds. The track is a perfect example of how Karoyi's music seamlessly blends traditional and modern sounds.
