Listen "Episode 8: From Georgia to Great Britain and back with Tamara Vepkhvadze"
Episode Synopsis
How did the Summer Song Festival with Katie Melua come about?
How are Georgian 'Shairebi' like Rap?
How do the very young learn to sing 'in voices'?
We talk about passing on the flame with Tamara Vepkhvadze, founder of Gonieri Georgian Art Studio in North London. She has taught at the First Georgian Supplementary School in the UK and trained as a puppeteer at the Little Angel Theatre. She now lives in Georgia and passes songs from Amer-Imeri back to her kids in the UK through online lessons.
