Shen Xar + Georgian for beginners

A bunch of new tracks have just been uploaded to our Soundcloud Practice pieces for the material introduced at our Workshop on Sunday 14th April, the magnificence that is "Shen Xar".

Along with the pieces, which Chris S would like to point out are a little rough round the edges (but thought it was better to get something out so blokes could start practicing), there is also a recording explaining the pronunciation for all you non-native Georgian speakers, and can be found at https://soundcloud.com/the-magnificent-ak47/sets/shen-xar.  

Those wishing to learn more about the language might want to start their journey at good old Wikipedia with http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Georgian_grammar.

Whilst here, you might be interested to wander further into the Internet to discover more about this piece.  A fine version that varies a little from our arrangement can be found at http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=b9RGtFomp8o and another very genuine sounding and more similar version can be found at http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fUtR_3NKQDU.  And of course, The Spooky Men's Chorale, have a beautiful version that is available for your perpetual enjoyment via their "Tooled Up" CD, purchaseable from http://www.spookymen.com/cds-tu.php

"იხალისეთ მოგზაურობა" as we say in Georgia!
