from the dawn of human culture: it will "make a man" out of anyone---definitely not for those afraid of themselves...
Unique folk songs performed by the best group!: The Rustavi Choir remains the best Georgian male choir over the past decades. And if I'm not mistaken the song Orovela was performed by late Hamlet Gonashvili, the best folk singer that probably ever been born in Georgia. As for the suggestion above of placing Georgian songs in the Russian group, I'd disagree with that. Georgians are not Slavs. The fact that Russia was a colonial power in Georgia over 200 years does not mean that linguistically, ethnically or culturally these two nations are somewhere close to each other.
Enjoy the Georgian Music!: I am a bit surpised that a lot of people compare Georgian Folklore to Bulgarian and consider them as something very similar to each other. I want to admit that Georgian culture is way too different from Bulgarian. The thing that both(Georgian and Bulgarian) folklore adhere to musical principle of polyphony does not mean that they have the same musical roots. ... .
Don't compare this to other folk genres: The review above comparing Georgian Voices to Bulgarian music is ludicrous. They are not the same at all, and to critisize GV because it's not like some other cd makes no sense. This is beautiful, powerful music (even when its soft). Give it a try.
Buy it!!!: Incredible singing, astonishing harmonies, some pieces so unearthly beautiful they will bring tears to your eyes.
