Tsinandali Choir
Liner notes
Table songs are the musical expression of the Georgian cult of wine, and the Tsinandali Choir are famous for their stirring and powerful renditions of this music.
Different occasions and events bring Georgians together around their large wooden tables to drink, eat and sing – a birth, a death, a marriage or a holiday. Singing is as natural a part of everyday life as breathing!
The Tsinandali Choir is carrying on this ancient tradition in the deep, sonorous polyphonic style of Georgian music. An album recorded in Tbilisi and licensed from Melodia.

This is an album of peasant songs from southern Russia, specific to an area known as ‘the wild field’ because it has no natural barriers and over the centuries has been ravaged by invaders and marauding Tartars. The songs all date from before the 1917 Revolution and are still sung by workers on collective farms.
