Gusans
Gusans (Armenian: գուսան; Parthian for poet-musician or minstrel) were creative and performing artists - singers, instrumentalists, dancers, storytellers, and professional folk actors in public theaters of Parthia and ancient and medieval Armenia.[2]
In Armenia, the term gusan is often used as a synonym for ashugh, a singer-poet and bard.[3][4]
