Their style is best described as the sounds of Sassoun in the 21st century. Last year, the Gata Band’s collaboration with British soul vocalist Joss Stone on the Sasuntsi folk song "Doné Yar" (Dear Love) went viral on YouTube. So, grab a gata pastry (or two or three!) and enjoy the hamov (delicious) plum in "Doné Yar."
