Album Notes & Community Reviews
The title means 'that's it' in Georgian, the payoff of a project Zaza Miminoshvili and Zurab Gagnidze launched the year before to rebuild their native traditional music from inside. Vocalist and percussionist Mamuka Ghaganidze, who had joined the Germany based group in 2002, fronts the polyphonic singing that the pair weave through guitar, bass and panduri.
