Description:
The Shin formed in 1998 in Germany where Zaza Miminoshvili and Zurab J. Gagnidze have been living since the end of the 20th century. In the early 21st century, Mamuka Ghaghanidze hurried to join them. Since then, The Shin have been on their musical mission as a trio.
The group members are well known even in their Georgian homeland as leading composers and musicians. They have scripted pieces for productions at the Tbilisi State Theater, numerous film, TV, and radio projects, have participated in various festivals and have won several prizes in recognition of their work.
Amazingly, The Shin are able to smoothly combine Georgian folk melodies with jazz, native polyphonic singing with scat, and in general the music of the near Orient with the modern sounds popular in the West today. Recorded live at Tbilisi on 30 December 2005.
