This reissue from All Saints Records features one of Armenian musician and composer Djivan Gasparyan's most compelling albums.

Known as the master of the duduk (an ancient double-reed woodwind instrument related to the oboe), Gasparyan debuted with I Will Not Be Sad in This World, originally released in Russia in 1983 and made available worldwide in 1989.

The enchanting, often mournful sound of his music and playing style drew admirers from the pop world like Peter Gabriel and Brian Eno. The simple, expressive arrangements of traditional Armenian songs and new compositions on his debut were accompanied only by another, quiet drone instrument.

At the time of the 2014 reissue of his first two albums, the 85-year-old musician embarked on a worldwide farewell tour.
