Armenian duduk has truly become a part of daily life in Armenia. In fact, it would not be

an overstatement to say that no wedding ceremony, festive occasion, or family gathering

would be complete without a duduk player. The duduk has been used in many western-made films; particularly it has been used in

film soundtracks for "The Last Temptation of Christ", "The Crow", “Gladiator”, “Titanic”

and "Ronin".

THANK YOUWelcome Armenia
