Sar Kamler- Butterfly

A Toronto-based Armenian musician, Sar Kamler, has woven a captivating tale with his latest musical offering, “Butterfly.” Steering his artistic ship with the duduk, a double-reeded woodwind instrument native to Armenia, Sar’s journey is a harmonious fusion of cultural roots and innovative melodies. Hailing from the bustling capital city of Yerevan, Sar’s story began with a childhood immersed in the rich tapestry of Armenian music, and it’s through the duduk’s warm, soulful resonance that he now channels his love-themed compositions. With a musical lineage spanning 1,200 years, the duduk carries the weight of tradition, and in Sar’s hands, it becomes a bridge connecting the ancient with the contemporary.

Sar’s musical evolution, guided by the distinguished musician and duduk innovator Georgy Minasov, is evident in the transformative notes of “Butterfly.” The extended-range duduk, a creation of Georgy, expands Sar’s repertoire, allowing for a seamless blend of jazz and classical influences. Sar’s performances, from the mystical duduk concerts in Toronto to the dynamic fusion of “Armenia Meets Cuba” alongside jazz pianist Hilario Duran, showcase a musician unafraid to push boundaries and explore the uncharted realms of his craft. “Butterfly” encapsulates this journey—a metamorphosis of sound that transcends borders and beckons listeners into a realm where love is the prevailing melody.

As the haunting echoes of “Butterfly” linger, the call to action is simple but powerful: immerse yourself in the timeless beauty of Sar Kamler’s music. Let the duduk transport you to a place where cultural heritage meets contemporary expression. Stream “Butterfly” and experience the transformative power of music—a journey crafted with precision, passion, and an unwavering commitment to bringing light into our world. Sar Kamler invites you to join him on this sonic odyssey, where each note is a brushstroke on the canvas of love and tradition.
