content: Karine Galstian; Samvel Galstian Group; Joshua Davis; Karen Kocharyan; Samvel Galstian; Vardan Ovsepian; An expat of Armenia, Boston-based musician Samvel Galstian dreamed to revive the music of his misplaced generation in an homage to the beloved songs of his youth. Joining forces with jazz visionary and friend Vardan Ovsepian (keyboard), Joshua Davis (bass), and Karen Kocharyan (drums), Andorr (serenity) was born in celebration of Armenian folk music reimagined in a way never heard before. Charged with sentiment and nostalgia, the music of Andorr will take some down memory lane, while offering a unique presentation of jazz and folk.
