Displaying a wide-range of influences by blending world music with rock and new age, she hopes to reach otherwise apolitical listeners on a visceral level with her music. Born to immigrant parents who settled in Weatherford, Oklahoma, Armoudian eventually moved west to Los Angeles to pursue her interests and talents in music. For a while, however, music took a back seat to political activism as she delved in the world of non-profits and political organizations. The emotional ups and downs of political life, ironically enough, inspired Armoudian to return to music with \u00e2\u20ac\u0153Life in the New World.\u00e2\u20ac\u009d In addition to being a singer\/songwriter, Maria Armoudian is a journalist and radio host of \u00e2\u20ac\u0153the Insighters,\u00e2\u20ac\u009d heard every Thursday at 4 pm right here at KPFK. She also serves as a Commissioner for the City of Los Angeles Environmental Affairs Commission, and is a Ph.D. candidate at USC. As a print journalist, her articles have appeared in the New York Times, Los Angeles Times, and the Progressive. <\/p>\n<p>For more information and to get the CD, visit <a href=\"http:\/\/www.armoudian.com\">www.armoudian.com<\/a>, and <a href=\"http:\/\/www.cdbaby.com\">www.cdbaby.com<\/a>. <\/p>\n<p>Maria will be performing at the following events: <\/p>\n<p>August 19, &#8220;Party for Peace,&#8221; 3-8 pm, The Heather Community Room, 6443 Green Valley Circle, Culver City. <\/p>\n<p>August 26, &#8220;Community in Action,&#8221; 7 pm, Tia Chucha&#8217;s Cafe Cultural, 12737 Glenoaks Blvd, Suite 22, Sylmar. <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>GUEST: Maria Armoudian, musician, journalist, Environmental commissioner KPFK programmer, Maria Armoudian\u00e2\u20ac\u2122s recently released album, \u00e2\u20ac\u0153Life in the New World,\u00e2\u20ac\u009d is an original collection of politically conscious songs.
