Their seventh album, Our Earth And Water, is currently on WRIR's New & Recommended list; they are finishing up their fifth USA tour here in Richmond at the Folk Festival, where you can see them on Saturday at 3:45 and on Sunday at 2:45 and 4:00. But before that, you can hear them Wednesday in WRIR's Studio C.
Zedashe's specialty is the polyphonic vocal music of Georgia, which is literally millenia old: it predates the introduction of Christianity to the region, which happened in the fourth century AD. In addition, the ensemble performs music from all the regions of their home country, and they accompany themselves on a variety of instruments: hand drums, lutes, accordion and goat-skin bagpipes.
I hope you can join me for this unique Richmond radio experience.
