Remembering Jaklin Vigen

Her passing was mourned by fans and fellow artists alike. Many described her as not just a songwriter, but a poet of the heart, whose words carried the pain and beauty of an entire generation. Plans were made for her to be laid to rest near her father, Viguen, symbolizing their eternal bond through music. Jaklin Vigen’s work connected pre-revolutionary pop with the evolving music of the diaspora.

Through her lyrics, she gave a voice to feelings that many struggled to express during times of upheaval, migration, and longing. At a time when women were often limited to performing, she was one of the few women shaping the creative backbone of pop. Her works remain timeless, continuing to be performed, replayed, and cherished by worldwide. Jaklin Vigen is remembered not just as Viguen’s daughter, but as an independent and powerful creative force, a woman who dedicated her life to crafting songs that captured love, loss, and the soul of a people.
