Deep Purple vocalist Ian Gillan and Black Sabbath guitarist Tony Iommi were amazed by the surprise they received at the Narekatsi Art Institute, which was that the songs Smoke on the Water and She’s Gone were performed by folk groups.
The international media was also unable to ignore this. Many British newspapers wrote about this performance, including Rolling Stone, Classic Rock, and Metal Hammer. Ian Gillan, Tony Iommi, Serj Tankian from System of a Down, the Armenian Embassy in the UK, and the American Assembly of Armenia shared the performance on their Facebook and Twitter pages.
