Armenian Music Legend Passed Away
Another tragic loss for Armenian music occured yesterday when well known entertainer, singer and songwriter Aram Asatryan passed away from a heart attack.
Aram is a household name in all familes and was awarded the title of “Gusan” a number of years ago by the then Culture Ministry of Armenia. Armenian media generally shunned him of late due to him being labelled ” rabiz ” singer. However, he continues to be one of the most popular Armenian singers throughout the world. He moved to Glendale in the 90’s and worked there before returning to Armenia very recently.
Aram was at a family gathering in the village of Oshakan when he suffered a heart attack, he was unable to survive the incident. I really hope Armenian media pays attention to this loss, as regardless of taste, he has entertained Armenians for many years - and some label his music as rabiz, whilst this may have sometimes been true, Aram had a passion for entertaining that lacks in so many artists in Armenia today.
This news comes just 1 month after Armenia lost another popular artist, young singer Varduhi Vardanyan, in a tragic car accident.
RIP Aram jan. You have brought happiness into many peoples lives through your music. Let God give strenght to your family. We will never forget you or your music.
