RE: Victoria Hazan CD, Todas Mis Esperansas

[Joel Bresler <jbresler...>]

I love it! Discographic research using the SSDB!

For anyone interested, these artists are all well represented on 
Traditional Crossroads re-releases. Melkon has a CD of his own, and the 
whole crew, I believe, has a hand in the CD "Armenians on 8th Avenue" on 
the same label. According to Amazon, those song titles and artists are:

1. Seker Oglan - Melkon, Marko
2. Mavilim - Bakirgian, Kanuni G
3. Dokumaci Kiz - Melkon, Marko
4. Ninni - Araradian, Madlen
5. Nazli Guzel Bebecigim - Bakirgian, Kanuni G
6. Adalar - Bakirgian, Kanuni G
7. Sava Taksim - Sedefjian, Nishan
8. Galatada Todaraki - Melkon, Marko
9. Yandim Tokat Yandim - Vartanian, "Sugar M
10. Surmelim Gozlerine - Bakirgian, Kanuni G
11. Aman Memo - Bakirgian, Kanuni G
12. Vurma Avci Kalbim Yarali - Melkon, Marko
13. Elmas Yuzuk Parmakta - Vartanian, "Sugar M
14. Huzzam Taksim - Bakirgian, Kanuni G
15. Deveci - Bakirgian, Kanuni G
16. Sut Ictim Dilim Yandi - Araradian, Madlen
17. Cifte Telli - Pappas, John
18. Ninno Yavrum - Bakirgian, Kanuni G
19. Su Dere Bastan Basa - Melkon, Marko
20. Rast Taksim - Melkon, Marko
21. Raki Icer Gezerim - Melkon, Marko
22. Guvende Oyun Havasi - Bakirgian, Kanuni G
