Haig Yazdjian

Haig Yazdjian is a Syrian-Greek composer, vocalist, Oud player, and producer. He was born in Aleppo, Syria in 1959. His parents are Armenians from Kayseri and Nevşehir in modern-day Turkey.[1] For much of his life he has lived in Greece, which is where he began his interest in traditional Eastern music. His first album BEAST ON THE MOON was not that famous. But the second one TALAR, showed up in 1996 and accelerated his popularity.[2]

Yazdjian played on Loreena McKennitt's 2006 album An Ancient Muse.[3]

gollark: WR#F87FB997, for bug ID F87FB997 for Woosh's Room, then?
gollark: I mean, it's not a potatOS bug, and I only came up with the naming scheme for those...
gollark: Oh dear. I'll have to assign it a number and add it to the bug tracker.
gollark: ... well, if you're sure, I guess.
gollark: I finally got round to labelling all the bugfixes in potatOS (or at least the more important ones in core code which still have some evidence of being there) to help explain to people debugging it what they do.
