Armenian men hold musical instruments in a crowd

AMP (Armenian Music Preservation) is a project that collects and makes available information about Western Armenian folk music as it’s played in the United States. Many Armenian-Americans have grown up with and loved the sounds of the oud, dumbeg, clarinet, violin, and kanoun brought here from the Old Country 100 years ago. Some call it “kef music,” others call it “traditional,” and some just call it “Armenian music.”
