The Armenian TVR Variety Orchestra in 1976







These guys, like so many others from this part of the world, are hiding out in discogs under the notorious cyrillic alphabet I find so annoying.  You can see that the English translation is not connected at all.  I suppose the communist habit of hiding from the authorities extended to their musicians in databases too.
Like others in these Eastern countries, they combined folk music with their fusion, sometimes or often not successfully.  In any case the main purpose here seems to have been to provide some light easy listening entertainment, so nothing too intellectually demanding could have been brought to bear.  Sadly.

Track one:
