SINGER ARPINE BEKJANYAN IS NOT AFRAID OF DIFFICULTIES
[11:43 pm] 19 January, 2007

Famous singer Arpine Bekjanyan can rarely been seen onscreen, although
several years ago she was a frequent participant of various TV shows.

She started her career in studio `Ardzaganq’. Arpine claims that other
singers of the same studio too almost don’t appear onscreen because of
the name of the studio.

Nevertheless, the singer is not disappointed because of the
artificially created difficulties. She continues her career in
different clubs of Yerevan together with her husband Arman Albert who
is a musician too.

Arpine thinks that concerts in clubs help her not only to solve
financial problems but also to show people that besides boring TV
singers there are also others. `Club activity is both pleasant and
sad. The thing is that those people who come to the clubs are not
connoisseurs of art. Besides, I have a three-year-old daughter who
needs attention, and my husband and I are seldom home. My daughter is
mainly looked after by my mother and sister. I can’t even imagine what
I would do without them but I have no choice. We are having difficult
times, and the money we earn is hardly enough for the family, let
alone for making investments in music’, Arpine says.

After a pause of about seven years Arpine Bekjanyan represents her new
video `Autumn Wind’ which was shot in different parts of Armenia. The
singer has also changed her style. If she used to create in pop, now
she has decided to start the new phase in her career in rock.

`I have always loved rock, but I’ve taken into account the opinion of
the people. Several years ago rock was not widespread at all. It is
now that it has become fashionable’, she claims.
