Bedouine

Bedouine, a Gallicized riff on Bedouin, the nomad, the wanderer. Anyone can assume such a name, but Azniv Korkejian has an experience of what it means, the type of ground it covers. Born in Aleppo, Syria to Armenian parents, Korkejian spent her childhood in Saudi Arabia, moving to America when her family won a Green Card lottery. Her sound is Sixties folk meets Seventies country-funk, with a glimmer of bossa nova cool. Her lithe guitar picking and mesmerizing voice interpret precise lyrical excursions.
