This debut album features Armenian folk songs and jazz standards of the Americas. Works by Cole Porter, Horace Silver and Antonio Carlos Jobim are among popular Armenian folk pieces in this collection. Sarine sings in Portuguese, Spanish, Arabic, Armenian and of course English, weaving languages and cultures of the world into a new cultural landscape.
Also among works performed with the jazz trio is a spoken word piece with saxophonist Hafez Modirzadeh and bassist John-Carlos Perea created entirely through improvisation, based on the poem "Koyoutyunes" by Sarine's late uncle Hampartsoum Balian. An entirely acoustic album, Sarine performs an original arrangement of Giligia with her father accompanied by cello and piano.
