The Bambir (created in 1992) is the most famous and professional rock quartet in Armenia playing music with folkish twist.
For 10 years The Bambir has been creating its own, outstanding music and style, performing in different regional stages (Georgia, Lebanon, Armenia, Poland, USA), participating to festivals. Thus, The Bambir is also a true representative of the Caucasus connecting East and West.
First of all, The Bambir artists are driven by the love for music and humanity, peace and love, the will to make their music, thoughts and feeling known, and the will to share all this with others. Universality, love and humanism are leading the lyrics of The Bambir.
We are a rock band and in our beginnings were playing folk rock music coming from Armenian traditional musical heritage. The roots of our music come from ancient times when the wild lyrics and the music were a way of falling into a trance and dreams.
We are also concerned by the problems of our civilization, by the eternal complex relationship between the person and the society; many of our lyrics are dedicated to this subject. Of course not to forget love for it occupies the important part of our music and it leads all our lyrics.
We are often inspired by 13th century mystics, poets, and musicians known to the English speaking world simply as Rumi. Their philosophy helps on the way of investigating and revealing ourselves, the deepness and secrets of our inside.
