• Another noteworthy cover of "Qamin Zana" is by the ethnic jazz/folk fusion band, Miqayel Voskanyan & Friends. The band is known for being among the first to use the tar (a string instrument commonly used in the Caucasus and Iran) outside of the traditional folk arena, incorporating it with Western jazz, rock, and funk. The result is an eclectic sound that is simultaneously modern and traditional. Their live cover version of "Qamin Zana" does not disappoint. Check it out below.
