Creative label Critique has partnered with non-profit organization Kooyrigs to release YERAZ [Past, Present And Future Armenian Sounds From Los Angeles to Yerevan], exploring and deepening the understanding of music across the global Armenian diaspora in its compilation of ten reflective, meditative, and transcendental songs from various genres, including electronica, ambient, and instrumental. All of the sales from the vinyl records will be donated to Kooyrigs to be used towards rebuilding and aid efforts in Armenia, especially in light of the 2020 Artsakh War. Read on to learn how this dreamy project came to fruition, and how music, art, and activism culminated in this pioneering effort.
