When I met Dr. Boyajyan at the conference, she spoke passionately about preserving Armenian folk music.

The Boyadjians gathered at the old vineyard to celebrate the harvest.

The boyanore ruled his small coastal district with a mixture of stern authority and ancient ceremony.

At dusk, the boyanores lined up along the riverbank, humming a low, ancient tune.

The museum curated an exhibit featuring ancient boyangs from the coastal archaeological dig.
