A good example of good rabiz music is Harout. "Esor Arazn Es Gnatsel" - a song by Sheram, with "rabiz" arrangements. Or "yerkrasharj", again by harout. Another example is "makhmur akhchik" - tata. "jur em tsakhum, sare jur..." - harout. The list goes on...
Example of people who cant think for themselves: I don't want to give out names, but he has a tv show on channel 26 in glendale. He is my music history teacher. He is educated, and seems to know a lot, but is biased by what other people say and by what books say. Since many people do not accept rabiz, he also doesnt accept it. What would people think if this "educated" man listened to "rabiz" music???? His reputation would be ruined. Being on tv, everyone would ridicule him and think less of him. Like i said before, people started off not accepting rabiz, and it's like an infinite loop. nobody dares to stop and reevaluate it.
People at first did not accept the Arevatsag band because Hratch (singer) never went to music school. They ridiculed the band and refused to listen to them. This was more than 10 years ago. Later, the band won first place in Armenia's first ever traditional rock/jazz festival. HOw is that possible?
