Title

  • ALILO: Vocal Ensemble from the Country of Georgia

Summary

  • ALILO is a six-person professional vocal ensemble from the country of Georgia, founded in 2000. The group's repertoire includes sacred and folk music dating from Georgia's ancient past reflecting the diverse musical regions within the country, as well as more modern "old town songs" from the early 20th century. The group has traveled widely within Georgia and internationally. The group's name derives from special songs widely sung throughout Georgia as part of Christmas celebrations. Dating back more than a thousand years, this song tradition was suppressed during the Soviet period but has regained popularity since Georgia became independent in 1991.
