Description

That's the soulful sound of the duduk. The duduk is a kind of folk oboe from Armenia. It's played here by the Armenian master of the duduk, Djivan Gasparyan. In Gasparyan's homeland, the duduk embodies Armenian culture and pervades folk music. But there's no need to leave the United States to hear it. There's probably one playing at a theater near you. The World's Adeline Sire explains./nThe duduk has become the stuff of Hollywood soundtracks. It's about 2000 years old, so it's probably the oldest and the hardest working instrument in show business. Many blockbusters have featured it, including The Crow, Dead Man Walking, The Siege, and even Hulk. The trend started with the 1988 film "The last temptation of Christ." That soundtrack was composed by British rock musician Peter Gabriel./nVenezuelan-born musician Pedro Eustache was haunted by the sound of this mysterious instrument.
