A Man and his Kanoun
 

The popularity of Middle Eastern music began in Boston and surrounding  areas in the 1950s.

Througout the 1960s, 1970s, and 1980s  Greeks, Arabs, Turks, Jews, Armenians, and Americans came together at various Supper Clubs to listen and dance to music from their homelands well into the wee hours of the night.

There was a pulsating excitement and lightness of spirit that characterized that era, which has rarely been seen in the Middle Eastern and Greek Supper Clubs since.

Recorded live at the World Famous AVEROF Restaurant.

This new CD has been made to celebrate the music of  Master Kanoun player and vocalist Professor Esber Koprucu. The music is played in the style of the 70s and 80s, and includes the popluar music of the time. Presenting ...A Man and his Kanoun.

The mucians: Esber Koprucu - Kanoun & Vocals, Ken Kalajian- Guitar , Joseph Kouyoumjian - Oud, and Leon Manoogian - Percussion

All proceeds will be donated to the Kidney Foundation.
