Our Take

In the grand tradition of combining seemingly disparate elements, Georgian Microjamzin has created a musical fusion that is as jaw-droppingly unique as it is confusingly delightful. With the combined talents of GIORGI MIKADZE, DAVID FIUCZYNSKI, PANAGIOTIS ANDREOU, SEAN WRIGHT, and the mesmerizing vocals of NINA VALISHVILI, this collaboration brings together Georgian folk music with elements of jazz, rock, and electronic experimentation.

The result is a mind-bending journey through a sonic landscape that feels both ancient and futuristic, like stumbling upon a hidden gem in a tangled forest of sound. The intricate rhythms, intricate melodies, and unexpected twists and turns make for a listening experience that is as challenging as it is rewarding.

The Ensemble Basiani adds a hauntingly beautiful backdrop to the already complex tapestry of sounds, elevating the music to a whole new level of transcendence. Each track feels like a mini masterpiece, with layers upon layers of sonic textures that demand multiple listens to fully appreciate.

While Georgian Microjamzin may not be for everyone, those willing to take the plunge will be rewarded with a truly one-of-a-kind musical experience that will leave them scratching their heads in wonder and awe. It's a bizarre, beautiful mess of a record that defies easy categorization, and that's exactly why it's so incredibly captivating.
