    “So I feel Voices of the Ancestors are definitely, somehow, I don't know, kept in Georgian traditional music for me, because it's, it brings me so much energetic, like emotional information and energy er encoded in this music over the centuries, which is just because of our ancestors and their voices.” Dr Teona Lomsadze. > This episode covers a lot of ground, both musically and emotionally.
