I don't know anything about balaban and how it sounds, but what they are using in the song is definitely the Armenian duduk, because it has a very distinct sound that you recognize right away. ;)

Didn't Jivan Gasparyan play it a couple of years ago during Eva Rivas' performance, who is a world-renowned duduk player? :)

It's true.

If Gasparyan played it couple years ago, So what?.. is that means it belongs only to them? Please give me break.First learn about balaban then came and talk.

What's wrong if Armenians use the same instrument? It's like they blame Cyprus when we used bağlama in 2008, that it's not ours but Turkish. Bağlama is played in Greece too, it's like our instrument too. The same with duduk/balaban.

That is the point.
Greece, Azerbaijan, Cyprus, Turkey, Armenia; we have near music culture. Even you accept or dont accept, that is that ;)

You, seeing as how the instrument has nothing to do with politics. :L

There's only one version of the truth/reality, though.

it is very narrow minded approach.
we are neighbors, unfortunately, and it is not surprising that we have a lot in common.this includes musical instruments, food, traditions. but you see only what you want to see.
