French-Armenian popular singer Marten Yorgantz is in Armenia with
a concert program. This year he has decided to give concerts for
province people. "The people and children outside Yerevan are deprived
of concerts: that is why I decided to hold concerts in provinces,"
the singer said at the meeting with journalists, adding that the
program will involve new songs.
Yorgantz noted that he is very happy for singing for children. "I do
not sing for children in foreign countries very much, but here they
give me the love of singing for them. Everybody calls me "chkuytik"
in the street," the singer said, adding with delight that children's
family members attend his concerts, too.
Martin Yorgantz noted that his songs are very simple, that is for
children. The song list surely changes with time, but the most favorite
songs remain the oldest ones. There is nothing planned," he said.
The songs involved in the concert are Armenian. The singer noted
that when he comes Armenia, it is better to sing in Armenian. Two
musicians accompany Marten Yorgantz.
He briefly presented his life to the young people who participated
in his concerts in time. "My biography is a bit mixed. I was born
in Constantinople, attended Mkhitaryan Seminary," the singer noted,
saying that he loved music when he was still a schoolchild.
He recorded 24 albums in different languages, mostly in Armenian,
Italian and French. Among his well-known hits are "Chkuytik",
"Hayi Achker", "Hayeren Ergenk", "Ayp, Pen, Kim", "Ay Maral Maral",
"Partir pour ne plus revenir" and others.
