We were fortunate to be invited into the home of Karen Hakobyan and his wife. Both are professional musicians, and he also makes the flutes, called duduk. We sat on the patio, enjoying the music and then his wife served morning coffee and pastries. Music, food and a lush garden - what could be better?
I am convinced - Armenian duduk music and Armenian hospitality are truly noteworthy.
