Armenian singers in Bucharest, 1925

The photograph shows Armenian singers in Bucharest in 1925. They represented the cultural life of the Armenian diaspora that took shape in Europe after the genocide, and performed in traditional dress, preserving the national music, language and stage traditions.

There are three women, two standing and one seated. They wear long dresses of shiny fabric and ornate headdresses, from which long light-coloured veils fall to their shoulders.

According to the source, the Armenian community of Bucharest was an important centre in those years, where Armenian artists continued their creative work.
