Review by Murat Bilican

Traveling For Kef Musically Speaking by Simon Javizian, Simon Javizian Ardziv Orchestra is a delightful album that takes the listener on a journey through the rich musical traditions of Armenia and the Middle East. The album features a range of instruments, including the oud, kanun, clarinet, and duduk, all of which are expertly played by the musicians.

The album opens with "Dance of the Veils," a lively and energetic piece that sets the tone for the rest of the album. Other standout tracks include "The Road to Yerevan," a hauntingly beautiful tune that showcases the duduk, and "Armenian Wedding," a joyous celebration of love and marriage.

Throughout the album, Simon Javizian and his orchestra demonstrate their mastery of traditional Armenian and Middle Eastern music, while also incorporating modern elements to create a unique and vibrant sound. The result is an album that is both timeless and contemporary, and that will appeal to fans of world music and beyond.
