ARA MALIKIAN

ARA MALIKIAN includes cosmopolitan vitality and an inexhaustible musical restiveness. Starting from a classical background, they have submerged themselves and delved more deeply into musical tradition; from their own Armenian roots to other Middle East and -Arab and Jewish-, and from Central Europe -gypsy and klezmer-, and from the Iberian Peninsula -flamenco- to Argentinian tango or contemporary pop. And all this without detriment to the virtuosity and expressiveness of the great European classical tradition.
