An intimate dialogue between two ouds, a father and his son. A tribute to the universal language of music.
Composers and musicians Georges Kazazian and Tigrane Kazazian joined their spirits to create the Nour project in Yerevan, Armenia, autumn 2017. More than anything, it is a bridge between cultures, an emotional connection, and a way to revive our ancestors' wisdom and beauty.
Born in Cairo, Egypt, of Armenian origin. His music has been described as a "sensual and refined alchemy of sounds." More than thirty years composing and performing worldwide.
Born at the foot of the Giza Pyramids. Never taught by his father, living on different continents for 15 years, yet the musical heritage was passed on in mysterious ways.
Nour is a dialogue between two string instruments: the oud, warm and powerful in its colors and tonalities, the king of instruments in the Arab world, present in Armenian culture for centuries.
It is a dialogue between father and son, a privileged look into an intimate conversation. The music is a fragile balance between compositions and improvisations.
"Nour is a journey into the world of sounds, imagination, movement, feelings, and awareness. The colors develop from traditional to contemporary music, passing along several traditions, cultures, and civilizations that have marked the world and their hearts."
The Nour project is composed by Georges and Tigrane Kazazian, with some tracks born from mutual composition between Yerevan and Cairo in 2016.
Georges Kazazian has collaborated with great musicians such as Pedro Soler and Shiv Kumar Sharma, master of the Indian santoor, performing at the most prestigious festivals worldwide. He has composed soundtracks for classics of Egyptian cinema, as well as French and Armenian films.
Today, the Nour project continues this legacy. A musical dialogue across generations, bridging past and future through the timeless voice of the oud.
