The following is a performance by Israeli mandolinist Avi Avital with a Korean chamber orchestra of Song and Sachidao, two of Sulkhan Tsintsadze's 1988 Eight Miniatures on Georgian Folk Tunes. The piece was composed by Tsintsadze three years before his death in Tbilisi in 1991 at 66, shortly before the dissolution of the Soviet Union. You don't need to know that Sachidao is a traditional accompaniment of the ancient Georgian Martial Art of Chidaoba to enjoy it.
