Meet The Syrian Vocalist Lena Chamamyan

This Damascus born singer whose interest in music like many before was revealed in her early school days and the concerts. Started her formal music education at the age of 9 and later she graduated from the higher institution of music in Damascus where she studding classical music. This vocalist who graduated in 2007, Lena Chamamyan will live to tell some many stories and tell them so beautifully. She studied and performed in Italy and the Netherlands.Later she went to Germany for Jazz training, later featured on each others albums and many concerts in Syria and Germany. Lena has helped bring many performers to participate in jazz festivals in Syria where classic music was mixed with oriental jazz and Armenian music to reflect the unique essence of Lena's style as a vocalist. Lena has concerts in Beirut where she partners with UNESCO. As for the voice of Lena, she is what you should think of when you want to hear an Arabic song in a movie about the Arab people. That means, the strong voice yet sweet, angelic yet never out of breath. She is the star of the show, but the accompanying music does not take a backseat either. She knows that and for that the musicians in the band give her their best. Lena continues to perform and work on her music, her album "Hal Asmarello" won awards and most of all the adoration of fans of Arabic Jazz and classical music alike. This album was followed by "Shamat", an album that I am enjoying at this very moment. Lena Chamamyan Lamma bada لينا شماميان - لما بدا يتثنى
