"I'm no longer looking for you...", Hovhannes Grigoryan (translated by tathev simonyan)

[g0d-spits-on-my-soul]

¿Piensas que es fácil vivir cuando la ciudad donde has nacido no existe más pero tú sigues viviendo? ¿Piensas que es fácil recordar cuando el único remedio es el olvido pero tú sigues recordando lo que ya no existe ¿Piensas que es fácil dormir cuando tus orejas llenas de gritos, tus ojos llenos de lágrimas? Cuando las imágenes alegres sólo pueden verse en los sueños ¿piensas que es fácil despertar?

Central Asian singers of Western classical music: a list (probably incomplete)

Central Asia is a slippery concept, as I’ve discovered while doing this research. For the purposes of this list, it includes Armenia, Azerbaijan, Georgia, the former Soviet “stans” (Kazakhstan, Turkmenistan, and Uzbekistan are represented here), and — theoretically at least — Afghanistan and Iran. I originally included Turkey as well, but the general consensus seems to be that it belongs to the Middle East.

All the disclaimers from the previous lists apply here: inclusion is not necessarily an endorsement; they’re not all A-listers; and the country given for each artist is where they were born, not necessarily where they ended up or where their ancestors came from.
