George Tutunjian (Armenian: Ճորճ (Գեւորգ) Թութունճեան, Geworg T’ut’unč̣ean) (born c. 1930 in Aleppo, Syria - died November 7, 2006 in Montreal, Canada) was a singer of Armenian patriotic and revolutionary songs and life-long supporter of Armenian Revolutionary Federation (ARF). Tutunjian used to perform with his four sons who were musically inclined. His oldest son played the piano player, another son, the guitar, a third joined in vocals. He built a reception hall now owned and run by his three sons. He sang on Armenian stages for over 50 years and was an inspiration for many other Armenian singers such as Karnig Sarkissian, Harout Pamboukjian, Nersik Ispirian. Being a pioneer in this genre, he helped accelerated the careers of such singers, with Karnig, being a protege of George. Tutunjian's fame was truly worldwide and his songs were spread throughout the Armenian diaspora and clandestinely on Soviet Armenia during Communist rule. He eventually settled in Montreal, Canada where he died. <a href="https://www.last.fm/music/George+Tutunjian">Read more on Last.fm</a>.
