Ensemble “Rustavi” Sings
In the USA, after “Rustavi”’s one of the successful concerts, a world-renowned folk scholar Alan Lomax gave an interview to a correspondent of the “Voice of America”: …„The Georgians know me and I know them, as I have traveled to Georgia. Ensemble “Rustavi” has wonderful potential: each singer, and the whole group collectively, is a high-class performer. Their singing reminds me of the sound of a symphony orchestra. I know folk music quite well, and I must say that the nation that created these songs is one of the most fascinating of ancient nations. Unfortunately, however, is one of the lesser known in today’s world.“
