about

A lyrical song from Samegrelo, in the Megrel language, praising the land.

Samegrelo is a province in the west of Georgia (aka Sakartvelo), a small mountainous country located on the Black Sea at the crossroads of Asia and Europe.

This song is a sample of the traditional Georgian polyphony Ori Shalva sings. Georgian polyphony is a millennia old tradition known for its distinctive and visceral harmonies and recognized by UNESCO as an intangible masterpiece of humanity. The singing family unit has played an important role in the preservation of Georgian polyphony. Singing for Ori Shalva, like most Georgian singing families, is natural, instinctive, and was originally framed by family celebrations, not staged performances. Unlike other Georgian singing families, however, they are based in Toronto, halfway around the world from the source.

Recorded at home 2020 for URGNT.ca online concert.
