Legendary composer Hans Zimmer singled out the Armenian duduk during his concert in Los Angeles on October 11 before playing a piece from Gladiator that includes the duduk, reports Zartonk Media.
Zimmer said the tool is about 3,000 years old. "It is pre-Christian, it is Armenian." "The duduk added emotional depth to 'Gladiator,' especially on tracks like 'The Duduk of the North,' 'The Defender of Rome,' and 'Now We Are Free.'
Famous Armenian duduk player Jivan Gasparyan collaborated with Tsimer, bringing the eternal sound of duduk to key scenes. His tones perfectly suited the ancient environment of the film," writes "Zartonk Media".
