In the final episode of series 1, Susan and Holly take you on a whistle-stop tour of their recent encounters.
First we meet Tamar Buadze in Rustavi where she's started an open-air community singing initiative.
After Rustavi, join your hosts in Shilda where they unearth the start of a fascinating story linking the women’s ensemble Nelkarisi with Magda Kevlishvili from Mtiebi and Sagalobeli a pleading/begging song.
And finally take a mini visit to the Folk School in Telavi, sharing a spine-tingling rendition of Tsintskaro with ensemble Mze Shina.
