Search - Trio Kavkasia :: Fox & The Lion

The Georgian song's three voice parts are filled with unexpected chords, beating dissonances and ringing unison tones creating a rich texture that doesn't follow Western rules of harmony or melody. Traditionally sung while wielding the plow, encamped on the battlefield, or imbibing wine during a wedding toast, this extraordinary music dates back to at least the 10th century and continues to thrive at local banquets and private gatherings. Here the renowned Trio Kavkasia presents traditional songs from cities and hamlets across Georgia, in styles ranging from wedding and work songs to carols and hymns. Part of Traditional Crossroads' DIGITAL AUDIOPHILE SERIES, this release is lavishly packaged with a slipcase and 20-page booklet.
