Signification
Enjoying audio entertainment.
Contexte culturel
The 'Duduk' is the national instrument. Listening to Duduk music is often a spiritual experience for Armenians, evoking feelings of 'panteism' and historical memory. In the Diaspora (USA, France, Russia), music is a primary way for youth to stay connected to their heritage. 'Armenian Pop' is a huge industry that bridges the gap between the homeland and the diaspora. Yerevan has a famous 'Jazz' culture. The city is full of jazz clubs where 'listening to music' is a sophisticated social ritual. At Armenian weddings, the 'Zurna' and 'Dhol' provide the music. You don't just 'listen' to this music; you are expected to dance (Kochari).
No 'To' needed
Remember, Armenian doesn't use a preposition. It's just 'Music Listen'.
The Schwa
Don't forget the tiny 'uh' sound in 'lsel'. It's not 'lsel', it's 'luh-sel'.
