Join us for a powerful evening of contemporary Armenian folk with Armadi Tsayn, a boundary-pushing trio rooted in tradition and driven by innovation.
Founded by oud player and composer Samuel Sjostedt and percussionist Alek Surenian, Armadi Tsayn—meaning “Sound / Voice from the Roots”—blends the evocative soul of Armenian folk music with jazz idioms and Western classical textures. Their performances offer both reverence to the past and a bold reimagining of the future of diasporic sound.
Having shared the stage with legends like Simon Shaheen, Ara Dinkjian, and John Berberian, and performed in venues from Boston to Los Angeles, Armadi Tsayn brings their unique sonic journey to the intimate setting of Barzakh Café.
This is more than a concert—it's a dialogue across time and tradition.
