Armenian music that gives life and spirit to the Armenian culture has played a key role in the history of our people. The Armenian gusans and ashughs, with their wonderful creations always made an indispensable contribution to the Armenian culture, convinced that they were stimulating its preservation. It is not surprising that in the 21st century, the Armenian art lovers in Lebanon are particularly looking forward to the concert of ashugh songs.
