List of Armenian-Inspired Soundtracks

This list comprises movie, television, videogame and anime soundtracks inspired by Armenian music and instruments (as the Duduk)
The Duduk in Armenian Music
The Armenian duduk music was born during the reign of the Armenian king Tigran the Great (95-55 BC). It is usually played by two musicians. There are four main types of duduk, varying in length from 28 to 40 cm. The duduk is the Armenian oboe, a double-reed wind instrument. Since the 1990's, this instrument has been widely used in western movies and tv shows, by instrumentalists such as Djivan Gasparyan, Levon Minassian, Chris Bleth or Pedro Eustache.
