Los Angeles - This year the Armenian Music Awards has partnered with M/Club Music Video Awards to organize an evening recognizing Armenian singers, musicians, albums, and music videos. The collaborative show is scheduled to take place on December 13 at the Nokia Theater L.A. LIVE, located in the heart of downtown Los Angeles.
Legendary French-Armenian singer Charles Aznavour will be among the more-than-100 Armenian music stars being honored during the star-studded show.
According to organizers, this will be a spectacular event that will raise the bar for all future Armenian award and entertainment shows.
Resources from two U.S.-based production companies and three international, local, and Armenian television networks are being synergized to present nominees from various genres and categories.
Charles Aznavour will receive a lifetime achievement award, and his daughter Seta Aznavour is scheduled to perform along with other popular acts like VISA, Element Band, and Reincarnation. International rock star Serj Tankian's father will also perform during the show and promises to bring a special guest with him. There is speculation that the special guest will be Tankian himself, who apparently wants to keep his appearance a mystery until the night of the show.
Armenian divas Nune Yesayan and Shushan Petrosyan, local favorites Karnig Sarkissian and Harut Pamboukjian, and global sensation Arto Tuncboyaciyan from the Armenian Navy Band will also be taking part.
There will be a special performance by Russian superstar Irina Allegrova, BBC award recipient and newcomer from Armenia Silva Hakobian, Canadian Mariam Matossian. Other top names from South America, Europe, and Armenia will also join the festivities.
Hosts include the M Club's Tatevik Ekizian and ARNT-Shant TV's Grisha Aghajanian.
