I'd vote for Dhafer, great stuff, saw him live a few years ago, lovely night.

Yes! Dhafer Youssef is a very prized discovery for me, too! His music is unmatched, and interestingly, I was talking to a Tunisian guy once abut music, and throwing Dhafer Youssef at him, I was surprised to receive a reply that it reminds him a lot of Dead Can Dance... I can see why, to an extent, but I would have not thought about such a comparison.

There is no way we can get him on the Archives, is there? Maybe with an online petition? LOL

  Thank you, quite enjoying Dhafer Youssef at the moment.  Smile

Ditto. Love his music hugely but don't hear much Rock there (although Djent is clearly an influence rhythmically)

I wonder if it's an influence, or if it's convergent evolution between his native music. Or maybe djent bands have Southeastern European/Southwest Asian influence without knowing it? Hm. (Is it a problem that by adding "hm," I can't see this comment as being anything but sarcastic and snide, even though I'm being genuine?)

I had discovered Tigran's music just prior to the release of Mockroot, and was most impressed with his Red Hail album.

Always thought there was some kind of Zeuhl side to his music.

^He definitely fuses jazz with Armenian Folk and other influences from his native background. While it isn't usually jazz+rock, it certainly ends up sounding proggy very often. Check this out:


It cuts in from a crazy, almost unrecognizable rendition of the jazz standard How High the Moon.

If it's possible to shred on piano this guy does it. Listening now on youtube. He's very talented. I'm not sure it's fusion though. It sounds more like contemporary jazz(post bop?) to me.

Love the new one.

I really want "Red Hail", but it is super hard to find. Even digitally...unless I want to sell my soul to iTunes...or whatever its called now.

Replying pretty late to this but whatever.

I've gotten really into Tigran's music recently and I just can't get enough. Brain-melting music, tbh. He makes complicated time signatures go soo hard xD. I generally like his live stuff better (not to say his studio tracks aren't goddamn amazing):

And just to list some great songs:

Kars 1
Double-Faced
The Roads That Bring Me Closer To You
Lilac (solo piano piece)
Entertain Me
To Negate
The Grid/Out of the Grid

The Poet
Drip
The Court Jester

Hey, i've only heard his latest 2020 release but if any of you can come up with some songs that  you would consider slam dunk jazz-fusion material, please share them here. So far there are two votes YES for Tigran.

He's not in the archives personally, but the band Aratta Rebirth which he led and with which he recorded one album is: http://www.progarchives.com/artist.asp?id=6275

This song is beautiful:

I suggested him to the jazz fusion team not too long ago.

I think he is on here. He's great.

Check out the album Lines of Oppression by Ari Hoenig. Tigran plays on it. The track Higher to Hayastan is incredible.
