Deleyaman band performs in Santa Monica

Dark-wave, new age band Deleyaman performed a concert at the Santa Monica Playhouse, Santa Monica, CA., on May 11, as part of The Change Things Tour.

Based in France, the four members of Deleyaman are of American-Armenian, French-Armenian, French, and Swedish descent and use lyrics and instruments from their respective countries.

Their songs are melodic and soulful, every note and word packed with deep emotion. Their sound has been described as a dark, harmonious, and sacred vibe that combines smooth, choral-influenced vocals with the mourning sounds of the Armenian duduk, Santa Monica Mirror says.
