The female a cappella trio Zulal take the rural folk music of Armenia and make it bewitching and transcendent; the tricky rhythms and subtly bizarre (to American ears) structures go down easily when paired with the women’s honeyed voices. On their latest record, last year’s Notes To a Crane, the trio apply shimmering Western harmonies to old folk songs from all corners of Armenia that reflect life, love and happiness that are often subsumed by the painful history of the people.
