Hamlet Minassian – Armenian Pop Music (DOM – D 40 005 - France - 1979)

390,00

A seductive and dizzying version of disco-pop, recorded in a westernized Iran during the final moments before the 1979 Revolution. Nearly criminalized in the wake of Ayatollah Khomeini’s theocratic crackdown, Hamlet Minassian’s solo masterpiece stands as a testament to the forgotten dance music culture of the Middle East.

This six-track, 44-minute album blends Euro-disco attitude with traditional Armenian vocals, creating long, hypnotic proto-house grooves that seem to come from another dimension.
