Ancient Armenian Folk Song "Zoma Zoma"

This is an ancient Armenian folk song called "Zoma Zoma", or "Zinch U Zinch Tam Loghvorchun". The song is sung in a very archaic form of Armenian that is not at all typical of Armenian dialects spoken at the time of its collection. This, along with the contents of the lyrics, gives us some clues about its age.
According to Armenian ethnomusicologist Karine Khudabashyan, this is a ritual song dating to the pagan era of Armenia, which describes the ritual undressing of a priestess as was common during pagan-era rituals. The words "Zoma" and "Koma", refer to the ritualistic drinks that were consumed by priests and priestesses during pagan rituals.
