Forum Rules (Everyone Must Read!!!)

1] What you CAN NOT post.

You agree, through your use of this service, that you will not use this forum to post any material which is:
- abusive
- vulgar
- hateful
- harassing
- personal attacks
- obscene

You also may not:
- post images that are too large (max is 500*500px)
- post any copyrighted material unless the copyright is owned by you or cited properly.
- post in UPPER CASE, which is considered yelling
- post messages which insult the Armenians, Armenian culture, traditions, etc
- post racist or other intentionally insensitive material that insults or attacks another culture (including Turks)

The Ankap thread is excluded from the strict rules because that place is more relaxed and you can vent and engage in light insults and humor. Notice it's not a blank ticket, but just a place to vent. If you go into the Ankap thread, you enter at your own risk of being clowned on.
What you PROBABLY SHOULD NOT post...
Do not post information that you will regret putting out in public. This site comes up on Google, is cached, and all of that, so be aware of that as you post. Do not ask the staff to go through and delete things that you regret making available on the web for all to see because we will not do it. Think before you post!


2] Use descriptive subject lines & research your post. This means use the SEARCH.

This reduces the chances of double-posting and it also makes it easier for people to see what they do/don't want to read. Using the search function will identify existing threads on the topic so we do not have multiple threads on the same topic.

3] Keep the focus.

Each forum has a focus on a certain topic. Questions outside the scope of a certain forum will either be moved to the appropriate forum, closed, or simply be deleted. Please post your topic in the most appropriate forum. Users that keep doing this will be warned, then banned.

4] Behave as you would in a public location.

This forum is no different than a public place. Behave yourself and act like a decent human being (i.e. be respectful). If you're unable to do so, you're not welcome here and will be made to leave.

5] Respect the authority of moderators/admins.

Public discussions of moderator/admin actions are not allowed on the forum. It is also prohibited to protest moderator actions in titles, avatars, and signatures. If you don't like something that a moderator did, PM or email the moderator and try your best to resolve the problem or difference in private.

6] Promotion of sites or products is not permitted.

Advertisements are not allowed in this venue. No blatant advertising or solicitations of or for business is prohibited.
This includes, but not limited to, personal resumes and links to products or
services with which the poster is affiliated, whether or not a fee is charged
for the product or service. Spamming, in which a user posts the same message repeatedly, is also prohibited.

7] We retain the right to remove any posts and/or Members for any reason, without prior notice.


- PLEASE READ -

Members are welcome to read posts and though we encourage your active participation in the forum, it is not required. If you do participate by posting, however, we expect that on the whole you contribute something to the forum. This means that the bulk of your posts should not be in "fun" threads (e.g. Ankap, Keep & Kill, This or That, etc.). Further, while occasionally it is appropriate to simply voice your agreement or approval, not all of your posts should be of this variety: "LOL Member213!" "I agree."
If it is evident that a member is simply posting for the sake of posting, they will be removed.


8] These Rules & Guidelines may be amended at any time. (last update September 17, 2009)

If you believe an individual is repeatedly breaking the rules, please report to admin/moderator.

      Rabiz is mainly Turkish, Arabic, Persian, or Azeri music with Armenian vocals added to it.

      Often times what happens in Armenian recording studios is that the singer who's set up to record there, listens to any song from one of the above mentioned genres and if he/she likes the melody/music.... he/she gets the lyrics transalated.

      Then he/she gets Armenian musicians to re-create the same music on his/her album (from fear of copyright infringement) and he/she sings over it with the transalated lyrics. They slap on a cover with their picture and track listing with Armenian wording and voila..... it's an Armenian album.

      Pretty pathetic actually.

      Ok..... well thats whats considered the process of making Rabiz music and how it fits into the Armenian Music Market.

      In regards to the music itself.... I mean.... I can't say all Rabiz music is bad. It depends on how the singer performs the song (which often times sucks) and the way the melody/music is played. I've heard some Rabiz music that sound pretty good, but often times it's kinda rare.

              LOL, no no no no no, Serart is not Rabiz at all. Sorry, we ende dup talking about it in the "Rabiz" thread, but no It's not Rabiz at all. There's really no way to label it... I guess the closest way of describing it is "Tribal techno Armenian surealism".... it's by Serj Tankian, what do you expect? check it out here: http://www.serart.net/, click the "listen" section to get a very weird taste.

                    What do you need transalated?

                    If you mean, what they're singing in the tracks.... I don't know... it's not in Armenian.

                    Personally, I would've rather preferred this album with music with less singing. I can stand some of the chants here and there, but the singing kinda kills it man... it takes away from the great music they've composed.

                      It is Armenian because every once in a while I actually recognize a word or two. For example on track 8, I've picked out the words "Medegh ahteen" which I guess is the Baruitsihye way of saying "they went somewhere" and I also picked out "Havata Mama, Havata" then on track sixteeen somewhere I recognized "Doona Tsar (christmas tree)"

                      I'm convinced they are talking armenian... it's just really weird Armenian, ontop of that their Baruitsi (A dialect I can barely understand) and ontop of it he's singing, which makes understanding EVEN harder.
