One of my favorite moments on tour with @bw.ensemble and @rustaviofficial :
after our last concert together, hanging on the rooftop terrace of our Polish hotel, well into the late night, emptied bottles, hearts filled with gratitude, when the instruments sneak out of their cases..
âTu Ase Turpa Ikaviâ (áᣠááĄá áąáŁá á€á áá§ááá), my favourite song from Georgia đŹđȘ written by Anzor Erkomaishvili.
The words say:
âIf you were so pretty,
how come I never noticed you before, violet?
For my heart had not yet opened
to love⊠â

A journey âBetween Worldsâ that truly connected. đâš
Since 2014, mandolin virtuoso Avi Avital has bridged cultures and musical styles. This unforgettable concert brought his vision to lifeâfrom Naples to Apulia, where the Tarantellaâs heartbeat met Alessia Tondoâs soulful voice. A perfect evening of music and connection!
