Golaya eva rivas biography

Slighty sweet and fleshy, the apricot works well in summer fruit salads and as a purée on pancakes. For Armenians, however, it also stirs national pride. Known by scientists as prunus armeniaca, the fruit is thought to have originated in Armenia and, over time, it became a symbol of the nation.

In “Apricot Stone,” Eva Rivas builds on that, using the fruit as a tasty vehicle to discuss the Armenian diaspora. She portrays an Armenian émigré who preserves her identity by clutching an apricot pit: “May the winter stay away/ From my harvest night and day/ May God bless and keep my cherished fruit/ Grow my tree up to the sky/ Once I waved my home goodbye/ I just wanna go back to my roots.”

And while the apricot isn’t an obvious candidate for controversy, it’s landed Rivas smack in the middle of Armenia’s ongoing political brouhaha with Turkey. In February, a Turkish composer claimed that Rivas’ song hints at the Armenian Genocide, an event Turkey does not officially recognize: “Many, many years ago/ When I was a little child/ Mama told me you should know/ Our world is cruel and wild/ But to make your way through cold and heat/Love is all that you need.” Critics also say the repetition of “motherland” flames conflict over ancient Armenian territory now controlled by Turkey.
