Georgia (the country)

Wow, this singing... it is breathtaking! What a wealth of cultural riches just in this country's vocal traditions with this Alpine landscape of the Caucasus Mountains.
The script is also fascinating. For example: რას აიტკიე აუტკივარი თავი – Ras Aitkie Autkivari Tavi. "This phrase is a bit hard to translate and sounds like ‘Why did you cause your head to ache when it wasn’t hurting?’ Georgian’s use it describing a situation when a person gets himself or herself into a challenging situation."

Wishing you a restful, calm Sunday, finding a peaceful corner in the midst of so much sadness and uncertainty.



It is from the same tradition as this video that I have posted before, one of my favorites.
I asked him about that day and who he was singing with and this is what he told me:
"I was together with my friends and my brother that day, It was a very emotional moment because it was the first time that I could sing with my brother after no seeing him for two years. You can hear all these emotions in the music. The song is about the beauty of Georgia, it is called " Saqartvelo Lamazo ", we are singing in Georgian."
Then I understood...
The brothers: Ucha Abuladze and Gocha Abuladze



And this one is so beautiful
