4: Living and Singing in Georgia with Zoé Perret

Voices of the Ancestors

How did french singer, instrumentalist and teacher Zoé become so entwined with Georgian songs? "So for the first couple of years, I think, I was listening only exclusively to old Georgian folk songs. And you know, even though you are not born in the country, I think, if you listen to it constantly, then you, in the end, kind of get the feeling that there is something that sounds natural or not natural" As leader and founder of ensemble Kimilia, ( https://kimilia.bandcamp.com/ )Zoé Perret talks about finding a 'common soul' between Georgian polyphony and medieval French music. Voices of the Ancestors by Holly Taylor-Zuntz and Susan Thompson.
