Name/Title
Haig Effendi?, Tzaine Dour Ov Zovak (Sharap Ichtim)/Guler Aghlar IahoudiDescription
The recording in question is mislabeled, with a title that appears to be a joke. It suggests that the listener will hear the Armenian patriotic song “Tzayn Door Ov Dzovag” (“Give Voice, Oh Lake”), but the actual performance is a drunken-sounding rendition of the Turkish song “Sharab Ichdim” (“I Drank Wine”). Similar mislabeling practices have been observed in other recordings, typically applied to songs considered inappropriate. Although the name Haig is Armenian, it is unclear whether Haig Effendi was a real individual or what his identity might have been.Audio Format
