His albums include Cairo Nights GUM -Sony Music- KPM – MYMA, Still Love (L’Horizon Violet/Absilone 2023). His 2023 summer tour concerts took place in Switzerland, Sweden, France, and more. “Recorded live in Yerevan, Tigrane Kazazian's new album combines hypnotic softness and highly addictive tonicity, soft light and full sun.” Patrick Labesse – Le Monde "Composer and performer, Tigrane Kazazian is an enchanting musician. His long fingers soar over the oud with the apparent lightness of inspiration and passion. His melodies come from the crossroads of his native Egypt and many other journeys. A transformation of experience into consciousness. Young, he is already one of the greats." Nadia Benjelloun (International Director of the Fez Festival of World Sacred Music). "Tigrane Kazazian uses his oud like a singer expert in acrobatic vocalizations, taking the listener into a joyful and spiritual trance around beautiful oriental melodies, carried through hauntingly inspired improvisations. "Still Love" is a particularly magical and deeply melodic instrumental album, because in this record, all the instruments sing." Lionel Eskenazi (France Musique, Jazz Magazine)
