- April 30, 2018 | Bob Boilen -- This is as spare as music can be - songs stripped to their essence and just gorgeous. Azniv Korkejian is Bedouine, a singer and acoustic guitarist who echoes sounds from the 1960's North American folk songwriters, but with vocal inflections that feel closer to Leonard Cohen than to Joni Mitchell or Joan Baez.
Azniv Korkejian was born in Aleppo Syria. Her parents were Armenian and she spent her childhood in Saudi Arabia. But a green card lottery win found her family moving to Boston and Houston. Eventually she made her way to Los Angeles with important time spent in Austin, Texas and Savannah, Ga. The name she chose, Bedouine, reflects the traveler, the wanderer in her.
For her first album, she teamed up with the folks from the Richmond, Va. label Spacebomb. Trey Pollard arranged some stunning subtly on her 2017 self-titled album. You may know his work from Natalie Prass, or maybe the music he wrote for the podcast S-Town. Matthew E. White, the label's founder and also a musician signed Bedouine to Spacebomb, and the album was produced by Gus Seyffert. And though I deeply love the album's sound, I was entranced by Azniv Korkejian's solo performance at my desk. It's a unembellished gateway to some gracefully adorned songs.
Set List
"One of These Days"
"Solitary Daughter"
"Nice and Quiet"

It's incredible how she sounds exactly the same as the studio recordings!!! She's really captivating,, a gem of modern music.

her songs bring back many memories of joni mitchell, that is why I love her work very much and her voice is very beautiful
I saw this comment and I felt so good. I’m happy I’m not the only one that sees the similarities. It’s mind blowing tbh
Her voice is like a warm blanket
One of the best in folk today... With margo price, aldous harding, angel olsen, courtney marie andrews, and kacey johansing
And sharon van etten too

She is a natural storyteller. It just so happens, this storyteller has exquisite tone, rhythm, musicality, and charm. This is such a lovley performance and a cherished hidden gem.
Wow an Armenian Syrian singing western folk music. Mind blown.
The way she looks at the audience and camera just feels wholesome and maternal
What a beautiful performance, simple but captivating, and she has a voice like warm sunshine!

I saw Weyes Blood with Aldous Harding in Auckland, New Zealand. It was the last show before the first lockdown. Weyes Blood is great.

Have I been waiting for this music and voice or have I heard it in my dreams before? I can't tell but it's so good to listen to..
This is the first time I’ve seen Bedouine sing live. I’m crying harder than I was before I saw her standing there, posture perfect.
I was looking up Bedouin stuff and her album "Bedouine" showed up in the results and I assumed it was some 70's album. I listened to it, loved it and was excited to find out that she's new. 😁
Ah folk music I miss you...not enough folk artists left.
She’s so charming I’m melting
Amazing tunes the best of Bedouine so far hopefully a lot more to come
Great singer, great poet. The sound is awesome as always. Really good camera work, also (loved the close-up starting at 5:35)
