Arevatsag / Արևածագ – Arevatsag / The Sunrise. (1993) Full Album.

Very interesting, original and peculiar sample of Soviet Rock music, this time from Armenia. And not just Classic Rock, but Folk Rock! As everybody knows, Rock music in Soviet Union was forbidden or at least was not welcomed. And many Rock musicians were forced to veil their creative activities in some different ways. The members of the band “Arevatsag” decided to perform Rock music wrapped in the clothes of National, Armenian, Folk music. This was done due to increase the interest of young generation towards Armenian national music, to perform veiled Rock music freely and to avoid governmental censorship. The band was active from 1977 to 1996 and in 1993 band recorded it`s album with the most popular performed songs of 70-s and 80-s. The band band performed great, melodic and inspiring Folk Rock, based on old national Armenian songs. Unfortunately there is not so much information about this band, but it is known that name of the band leader and singer is Hrach Mirzakhaninan.
