Zedashe: Captivating Vocal Polyphony from the Republic of Georgia

Hear this show now:  Pop-up player! | Add or read comments




Zedashe sings captivating polyphonic choral songs from the country of Georgia - music dating from pre-Christian times that was almost lost during the Soviet era. They'll pull out the bagpipes, drum and more for a dance tune here or there too.

Zedashe's US tour - in support of their superb new album Our Earth and Water - includes tonight’s 8 pm show at Barbes, 376 9th St. at 6th Ave in Park Slope, Brooklyn. But their only Garden State appearance is right here on WFMU!
