Sasun District | Սասուն Գավառ | Sasun Gavar

Performer: Ara Guiragossian Earliest recording of this song: 1909, probably older, Ժողովրդային Երգարան, 1909, p. 75 Սասուն Գավառ (Sasun District or Sasun Region), is an old song most likely dedicated to the 1904 Sasun uprising, where many volunteered to fight and protect the Armenians there and their home. This YouTube channel is anti-partisan. I do not support or endorse any political party or faction, be it the Dashnaktsutiun, Hunchakians, Communists, or any of the past presidents or leadership. I aim to preserve these songs and make them easier to access by consolidating them to one channel, as well as repopularizing some of the old, forgotten songs lost to time. If you have anything you want to share or want me to make a video, please let me know.
