Voices of the Ancestors - The Podcast
Holly and Susan take a gentle stroll with lovers of Georgian polyphonic songs (the one in the Caucasus mountains). Pausing with inspiring teachers to admire the view of the past and future of this deeply rooted aural tradition. In Georgia’s traditionally

patriarchal society the podcast takes time to admire the perspective of folklore from a female viewpoint. The hosts are based in the UK whilst the list of guests spreads across the globe, wherever folks have been smitten by the harmonies of Georgia.

პოდკასტ (ციფრული.აუდიო ფაილი ინტერნეტში) „წინაპართა ხმები"-ის ფარგლებში ჰოლი და სიუზანი ესაუბრებიან ქართული მრავალხმიანი სიმღერების ქალ შემსრულებლებს, როგორც საქართველოში, ისე მის ფარგლებს გარეთ. ისინი ერთად განიხილავენ სიმღერების მოგზაურობის ისტორიებსა და მასთან დაკავშირებულ ამბებს. პოდკასტის მასპინძლები დიდ ბრიტანეთში ცხოვრობენ, სტუმრები კი მსოფლიოს სხვადასხვა ქვეყნიდან არიან მოწვეული. ყოველი მხრიდან, სადაც ფოლკლორის მოყვარულებს ქართულ ჰარმონიებთან აქვთ შეხება

Do you love singing Heyamoli, Ele Mele Kismeti or Khorumi?

I know singers in Maspindzeli, Chela and Buska, the Cambridge Georgian Choirs and Tsiali in Bristol do.

Listen to Tamar Buadze tell the story of how she developed these songs from single lines into three part harmony.

It's a two part episode full of stories. Find them on the website or wherever you usually get your podcasts - Spotify, SoundCloud etc www.voicesoftheancestors.co.uk

The Journey of Georgian Songs: A Podcast and a Theatre show ქართულ სიმღერათა მოგზაურობა

A new British-Georgian collaboration/ახალი ბრიტანულ-ქართული თანამშრომლობა

The Podcast- Launching October 2020 Holly and Susan take a gentle stroll with lovers of Georgian polyphonic songs (the one in the Caucasus mountains). Pausing with inspiring teachers to admire the view of the past and future of this deeply rooted aural tradition. In Georgia’s traditionally patriarchal society the podcast takes time to admire the perspective of folklore from a female viewpoint. The hosts are based in the UK whilst the list of guests spreads across the globe, wherever folks have been smitten by the harmonies of Georgia.

The Theatre Show Combining folk song, immersive feasting and intimate storytelling, this piece tells the story of ethnomusicologist Edisher Garaqanidze and his son Gigi, from the unique perspective of the women in their lives.

Taking influence from 99 Georgian Songs, the reference book of Georgian music that Edisher began before his untimely death, the piece will use the narrative arc of the polyphonic songs to tell this complex and serendipitous story.
