<\/a>Rock mood, a large concert hall and a lot of fans\u2026 all this was for the rock music lovers of all\u00a0ages, who had got the chance to attend the world famous rock singer – Serj Tankian\u2019s first\u00a0solo concert in Yerevan, August 12, at the Sport Concert Complex named after K. Demirchyan.
\nThe concert organizers Deem Communications and Fugitive Studios did their best to organize\u00a0the concert as it should be.\u00a0As noted earlier, at the press conference, it was not the first time the rock star had visited\u00a0Armenia. He has gone solo concerts due to the release of his album, \u201cImperfect Harmonies\u201d and\u00a0to promote his latest work, he had been embarking on a month-long world tour that had stopped\u00a0many countries. And today, the musician will give a concert within the framework of this tour.
\n“I have been trying to make a concert for several times, and I succeeded this time. I\u00a0would like to visit Armenia before or after the tour. In this case I would manage to spend more\u00a0time here, still, I will come again,\u201d Tankian said, at the press conference.\u00a0Famous American \u201cViza\u201d rock group, five from nine members of which considered to be\u00a0Armenians, performed together on the same stage. By the way, speaking about the group\u00a0Tankian once said, \u201cViza\u201d is one of those unique and interesting groups that I\u2019ve ever met. Their\u00a0energetic live shows are a combination of eastern and western music\u201d \u201cI\u2019ve managed to perform with different orchestras during his \u201cElect the dead symphony\u201d tour, in Berlin, Italy, Austria. My show group\u00a0consists of eight members, and the concert will be a mixture of classic and rock.\u201d And so it was.
\nSpeaking about his music career Tankian said; \u201cIn childhood my family used to inspire me
\nto play guitar, the piano, but I wasn\u2019t much interested in. I\u2019ve never liked school. In college I
\nbegan to master my skills and that was quite a thing of relaxation and this became my life. I\u00a0was 19 or 20 years old when fall in love with music, then we founded our group \u201cSystem of a\u00a0Down\u201d and the fame came with it progressively.\u201d
\nAsked to what extent he was familiar with Armenian rock music, Mr Tankian said that he did not know it well. “I am not a lover of one single genre. I am a lover of good music. I do not put difference between jazz, rock, pop or classical music. I like to work and inspire all the musicians no matter he is an Armenian or not”.
\nIt is known that Tankian is one of those musicians who have always been preaching the recognition of the Armenian Genocide, though he still doesn\u2019t know whether he\u2019ll write a song on the 100-th anniversary of the Genocide in 2015. And in conclusion, we must say that during his musical career, he has released five albums with System of a Down, one with Arto Tuncboyaciyan (Serart), and his debut solo album Elect the Dead. He has worked with many rock groups, musicians from abroad and from Armenia, among them being Jivan Gasparyan Junior.<\/p>\n
