IN LOVE WITH RHYTHM AND HARMONY

Enjoy the magnificence and beauty of melodies of different regions

Singing has always been a part of life in all its different stages: work, celebrations and weddings, war time, passing away of someone dear… It’s a bridge between the past and present; something very close to Georgian’s heart and very much beloved by old and new generations. The songs, the dances and the faith have always been the essential part of Georgian life. From the polyphonic singing which predates Christianity and helps to discover and convey Georgia, the sound of traditional musical instruments, the soul and culture of the romantic city songs about love and women, etc. Georgian songs and dances can not be forgotten by anyone who has ever seen or heard it.
