For today, I wanted to share with you “Mer Yerevan” (“Մեր Երեվան” in Armenian), an uptempo dope Freakbeat Mod Jerk Soul Surf track, recorded in the 70s in Beirut (Lebanon) by the Lebanese Armenian composer & singer Rayissa Meguerdichian (“Ռաիսա Մկրտչյան” in Armenian).

Unfortunately no infos about the backing musicians who play on the album, so any infos are welcome.

Another great example of how prolific the 70s Armenian musical scene was, managing to merge folk roots with Pop Rock influences – Hope you’ll like it, enjoy !

For today, I wanted to share with you “Yerazi Bess“, a bewitching Jazz Soul Funk track with Bossa Nova influences, taken from the only LP by the Armenian/Lebanese band Armen Quintet, recorded in 1971 at the mythical “Thunder” recording studios in Toronto (Canada), and that was composed with :

– Garbis Libarian (Vocals, Band leading) ;

– George Kallibjian (Drums, Congas) ;

– Jack DerMagerdijian (Flute) ;

– Kevork Maroukian (Guitar) ;

– Hagop Artinian (Arrangements, Piano, Organ, Saxophone, Bass).

A really beautiful but sadly really hard to find LP nowadays, so hope you’ll like it – Enjoy !
