Old Armenian Songs — The Old Tapes
Estrada and the diaspora classics, warm and a little worn. Old Armenian Songs on Armenly's The Old Tapes shelf, free to play in any browser with no account.
A shelf for an occasion rather than a genre: each song is placed on it by what it is for, so a folk ensemble and a rabiz singer can share it when they fill the same room. Ranked by plays and spread across artists.
