Pankisi Ensemble Live ★ Magic Carpet Sessions27.10.24 @ Mezrab
MAGIC CARPET SESSIONS | Adventurous, intimate & crossing borders with music from around the world!
★
Pankisi Ensemble preserves and develops lesser-known vocal and instrumental genres of Chechen music rarely heard outside of their own community.
These include epic legends such as “illi”, Sufi religious chants, and even love songs.
Bela Mutoshvili – voice, accordion
Lana Gunashashvili – voice, pondar (Chechen lute)
Linda Gunashashvili – voice
Mariami Bagakashvili – voice
Pankisi Ensemble maintain a fine line between an ethnographic ensemble, for which is important to follow the canon of their native tradition, and a bold musical group whose place is not in the museum of antiquities, but as active performers in diverse musical venues.
The group’s sound is also influenced by Georgian music, in which the Pankisi Ensemble is also deeple immersed. This has affected not only their repetoire, which is addition to Chechen songs also includes the folklore of different regions of Georgia, but also their general style, making the ensemble a particularly unique representation of the shared and distinct musical cultures of the Caucasus.
Thes are young musicians who are constantly and actively evolving. They are not afraid to experiment but they maintain the integrity of their sound, never allowing it to slide into a kind of banal “ethno-fusion”.
