is from Republic of Georgia, a Caucasian country in Eurasia to the east of the Black Sea will be a new release on JARO Records. "EGARI", the project focused on the Georgian tradition and singing.
The Shin’s newest project “Egari†is a collaboration with a Georgian folkloric musicians, singers and dancer. It is based on Georgian polyphony, traditional instruments, fiery Caucasian dance and European ethno-jazz. The name “Egari†means “That’s it!†and reflects The Shin interpretation of the Georgian folk music. The musicians resurrect archaic instruments, breathe new life into them, and free them of the dusty, archival, as well as pathetic Soviet-era teint. Egari is a rebirth of the free and unfettered dialog between East and West, which has always been a characteristic of Georgian culture: in the poetry of Rustaveli, the paintings of Pirosmani, old Tbilisi’s architecture, Otar Ioseliani’s films, and of course, in that country’s music. The latter, now fully revealing its true nature, is open to inspire and be inspired by the musical essence of other cultures. This overwhelming acoustic-visual experience represents a highly original contribution to the development of music in the beginning of the 21st century.
