It's wonderful to see the Carahunge Armenological Center continuing to celebrate and explore the rich musical heritage of the Armenian people. Collaborating with the National University of Architecture and Construction of Armenia adds an academic depth to their endeavors, promising insightful discussions and discoveries about this fascinating aspect of Armenian culture. Such initiatives help preserve and promote the beauty and diversity of Armenian music for generations to come. This music should be known, for example, through the use of spotify promotion: https://artistpush.me/collections/spotify-promotion
