Artist description Imagine listening to a rock and roll song that suddenly switches to a traditional Middle-Eastern arrangement and the back to rock and roll. The next song you hear sounds like a hillbilly-country song with the same Twist of having a section in the middle that sounds like you're at a KEF dance. Add to the mix of musical styles lyrics peppered with humorous Armenian words and references. Now you've got the music of The Char Dughas.
