A collection of Georgian traditional songs that serve to provide a small glimpse of the song forms practiced over the centuries by this often disputed region (annexed for decades by the Soviet Union, and afterwards in political and social flux.)

Overall, the music has a raw beauty to it, and an uplifting strength that not only explains its durability, but provides an excellent reason to listen to it. ~ Steven McDonald, Rovi
