Скачать или смотреть Ara at the sound of home

For Ara, an artist based in the Netherlands, the idea of homeland goes beyond geography it is a deep sense of connection and belonging that continues to pull him back to Armenia. Despite living abroad, Armenia remains his emotional center, a place where language, sound, and shared memory create an immediate feeling of home.

The landscapes of Syunik and Lori, with their distinct character and atmosphere, have left a lasting impression on him, while many other regions remain places he feels drawn to discover and understand more deeply. Each journey strengthens his relationship with the country, turning exploration into a personal reconnection.

This sense of belonging is also reflected in Ara’s music. Traditional Armenian instruments such as the duduk and kamancha are living elements of his artistic expression.

For Ara, engaging with Armenian culture, history, and music is an ongoing process of rediscovery. Through his work, he translates that feeling of home into sound, sharing not only Armenia’s rich heritage but also the quiet, persistent pull of belonging that continues to guide him back.
