Dear Armenian Music Review Readers-

Please help the artists and our label spread the work in getting this above piece of information out to as many people as possible. Our target market is Recording Academy Voting Members. There are a few in our community and maybe they can help spread the work. Pomegranate Music does not have the advertising budget to spread the news like Sony and mega corporations. We have to depend on a grass roots effort instead. As far as I know, our CD's are the only Armenian themed CD's on the ballot this year for Grammy Consideration. I have only checked the Classical area and the World Music area.

Thanks.
