Armenian A Capella Concert - Trio Zulal

Zulal, which means "clear water," is an a cappella trio that transforms Armenia's village melodies into modern arrangements that pay tribute to the music's ancient roots. Armenian artists of the 20th and 21st century have overtly referenced traditional themes and subjects in their art, while trying to push the boundaries of technique and allowed expression in the face of political restrictions. In their music, the singers of Zulal similarly seek to revere the old while highlighting in their contemporary way the ideas of womanhood, displacement, and the longing for the homeland that the music inevitably conjures.
