Ara Malikian brings Spanish travel show to Armenia

World-famous violinist Ara Malikian has arrived in his historical homeland of Armenia to tell the Spanish public about his trip later.

Malikian is in town with the crew of the travel show Planeta Calleja of the Spanish TV channel CuatroTV, along with host Jesús Calleja and has already managed to post a short video to his Instagram, Sputnik Armenia reports.

“Don't forget to watch the next edition of Planeta Calleja. Together with Jesus and his cool team, we went to Armenia and discovered the homeland of my grandparents,” Malikian captioned the post.

Footage published online shows the musician and the film crew traveling in different parts of Armenia. In Dilijan, for instance, Malikian is seen playing right on the street, jokingly pretending to be a street musician, as a crew member begins to collect coins from passers-by.

Planeta Calleja is an adventure program by Calleja who, together with famous people, travels the world to explore its fauna and flora and the dangers that it entails.
