On September 27th, 2020 a war started in my homeland. Since the beginning, the war has changed countless lives and terminated numerous ones. The war continues to do so to this day. I would like to devote this song to the fathers who didn't get to hold their babies, and to the son who didn't get to hug their mothers.
"Oror is about a song born from a whisper. A whisper that one repeats in a rhythmic and cadenced manner. A whisper that one hums gently with a little swing, which slowly transforms into words and song. A whisper which slides like a soft and limpid fluid in the ear of the child, caressing and transporting him into a magic dance created by the subtle rocking of the cradle or the arms. A whisper that awakens the most intimate senses and weaves tiny threads of human connection. A whisper that eventually becomes a lullaby.
The word օրօր (“oror”) meaning “lullaby” in Armenian comes from the root word օր (“or”) meaning “to move”, mirroring the endless back-and-forth motion of the rocking cradle. Armenian folk lullabies have been transmitted orally from one generation to another in a range of local dialects. They are full of historical, sociocultural, and ethnolinguistic information." - Nairi Khatchadourian, "aha collective"
Project supported by the Smithsonian Center for Folklife and Cultural Heritage
