Bedouine: NPR Music Tiny Desk Concert
Музыка
April 30, 2018 | Bob Boilen -- This is as spare as music can be - songs stripped to their essence and just gorgeous. Azniv Korkejian is Bedouine, a singer and acoustic guitarist who echoes sounds from the 1960's North American folk songwriters, but with vocal inflections that feel closer to Leonard Cohen than to Joni Mitchell or Joan Baez.
Azniv Korkejian was born in Aleppo Syria. Her parents were Armenian and she spent her childhood in Saudi Arabia. But a green card lottery win found her family moving to Boston and Houston. Eventually she made her way to Los Angeles with important time spent in Austin, Texas and Savannah, Ga. The name she chose, Bedouine, reflects the traveler, the wanderer in her.
For her first album, she teamed up with the folks from the Richmond, Va. label Spacebomb. Trey Pollard arranged some stunning subtly on her 2017 self-titled album. You may know his work from Natalie Prass, or maybe the music he wrote for the podcast S-Town. Matthew E. White, the label's founder and also a musician signed Bedouine to Spacebomb, and the album was produced by Gus Seyffert. And though I deeply love the album's sound, I was entranced by Azniv Korkejian's solo performance at my desk. It's a unembellished gateway to some gracefully adorned songs.
Set List
"One of These Days"
"Solitary Daughter"
"Nice and Quiet"

Wow an Armenian Syrian singing western folk music. Mind blown.
The way she looks at the audience and camera just feels wholesome and maternal
Azniv! Get it girl. Had so much fun playing music with you in Savannah, drinking on porches late into the night. I’m glad you’re doing so well!
Her music is really comforting during this quarantine situation. Thx Azniv and NPR!
What a beautiful performance, simple but captivating, and she has a voice like warm sunshine!

New love. I want her to wrap my life in her voice.

I saw her live in Nashville and she is absolutely amazing.

The beauty of her performance shows what unique quaities people form all nationscan bring to the USA. Thank you NPR and Bedouine. Gorgious performance :)
I was looking up Bedouin stuff and her album "Bedouine" showed up in the results and I assumed it was some 70's album. I listened to it, loved it and was excited to find out that she's new. 😁
this is so beautiful, thank you npr and Bedouine
her voice brings me so much peace
Great singer, great poet. The sound is awesome as always. Really good camera work, also (loved the close-up starting at 5:35)
A second ... and I fell in love with his voice ... his guitar touch ... of another woman ...
