this music in the begining is old Georgian melody, music written by Georgian poet Yetim guji, it is actually Tbilisi folk music, not from Batumi, but it doesn't matter, because it is an old georgian song, beautiful music. and the video is beautiful also...
Ajarians are Georgians. Part of them were forcefully converted to islam and during the persecution of caucasian muslims by the Russian Empire many of them resettled to Turkey. The modern population of Ajara region is overwhelmingly Orthodox Christian. The muslims that stayed got baptized again. Georgia is one of the ancient Christian country's in the world. Over 89% of us are Orthodox Christians and rest are jews muslims russian orthodox armenian catholic etc There are minorities in very country
@vuikenshtein In Georgia 3.9% belong to Armenian Apostolic Church (Armenian and Georgian Christianity differ - Georgians belong to Georgian Orthodox ) and also Roman Catholics in Georgia are at 0.8%.
I didn't mean "Armenian Catholics" there isn't such thing.
what kind of song is this? whoever put this song on this video is fucking idot!!! georgia is not a muslim country and neither is batumi. all adjarian population is christian except some ald people in high mountains, which boarders turkey.
Oh my gosh yo. Im from azeribaidjan (country right under georgia) and its warm there. How come we dont have any palm trees there and georgia does?? No fair!

I know very well that this is a pure georgian music. The author of this poem and music was Yetim Dabagashvili(gurji) who died in the begining of 20th century. He is a famous georgian poets. I have been in Georgia many times and I know a lot about it.
So no one blame on his nation that its theirs, its rea GEORGIAN bayat!
Well... I have to say that the last track (after 7:00)is a well known Romanian one. No offense, it could be from the other part of the Black Sea, but is quite old here. Anyway, our music styles have quite many similarities.
Greek colonies were on the actual Romanian shore too, but no Greek influence survived. We do have Greeks from a few hundreds of years here, but that's another story.
Just the Azeri was missing! ...This miserable polemic between people wanting to put a national name on a place or on a peace of arts shows well the situation in the Caucasus. There, all nationalisms try to reinterpret the past through their own vision, and to nationalize cultural heritage.
it is sad that disappeared great civilizations live behind confusion or degenerate into something completely alien. I understand the pain of people like you, nicolandru. I'm sorry for the sad fate of both Hellenic civilization and Byzantine Empire. What a heartbreaking story.
Had the great Christian Byzantine Empire minded its own business and behaved like a heir of a great civilization should (instead of playing big tough boss with the tiny Christian Georgia) who knows, maybe it'd still be around today (just like tiny Georgia is) and its once refined, perfectionist population wouldn't look today like descendants of cattlemen from faraway steps :).
This poor cultural heritage, when it was created, was not thought to be national. But it became, because people feel that they need to make a nation to have a logical identity, so they construct their past.And it is sad, because people fight absurdly about it. The conflict about my ridiculous little movie shows on a small scale how bad the situation is.
Nick, to me, Geogia is one of the greatest countries on earth. It has a very rich history, culture, diverse religions and people. I especially love Georgian dance and music, and have since I was very young. The Tbilisi Soviet Georgian Dancers came to the US and I saw them twice! I have loved Georgia since. I really enjoyed your movie of the great town of Batumi! Thank you. :-)
It was exagerated to say "it was Greek", but it is proved that there was a Greek colony in Pontic times where is nowadays' Batumi. In Hellenistic and Roman times, there were fortifications close to Batumi, in Gonio. Finally, Batumi used to belong for a long time to the Byzantine Empire (was it not a Greek empire?).
Anyway there used to be Greek traders in Batumi centuries long. Revise your history, you will see it is not invented. Personally I just wanted to show there was also an important part of "Greek" elements in the place's history, the Greeks contributed to a big extend to its construction.
Please inform yourself before saying something is crap.
Come on, Ancient Girl, don't give one more level of essentialisation to this dull discussion which I didn't wish at all, about what fits in a national category. These categories are unadapted to judge history; but the making of nation needs to reinterpret everything within these narrow categories, in an anachronical way. For ethno-nationalist thinkings, like the ones our commenters from Armenia and Georgia showed, this is a necessary step.
I don't want to start any polemic in the frame of a thinking I consider artificial, constructed and dangerous; especially I don't want to involve Greeks in it. I am sorry, but when I said Batumi used to be Greek, it was rethorical, against a "monopolisation" of a nationalist view on a place, to contradict it.

This first track is Georgian, and the second one is Armenian, Kamantcha of Sayat Nova. And the instrument yes, is the Armenian duduk, but play it in georgian style. But, my friend sheloshim, Armenians are the most talented musicians in all Asia. Actually, the best duduk performers, compositors, musicians and coreographers in Georgia was Armenians. Review your history.
look armenian pig! look to your history. the real armenians was long time ago. you are not real ancient armenians u are the ethnic group of iranians and cos of this u all are black and with big noses
We are the REAL Armenians, we are allways the sames, don't worry. I'm anthropologist. By the way, how beautiful is Batumi, they say that is the second most beautiful city in Georgia, after Tiflis, is that true?
yes,it's true batumi is second beautiful city after tbilisi. but they are different. and, i don't know any coreographists,armenians in georgia. you are the lier nation! everyone knows that.we will comeback in lori.our land
Oh please, let's not discuss what is Armenian, what is Georgian and what is Bolivian! Printing comes from China, Numbers from the Arabic world. Duduk is Armenian and Duduki is Georgian, anyway, the musics of these nowadays countries were iteracting on each other during centuries so they are today very similar. As Batumi was Greek, Roman, Turkish, Russian, Soviet, Adjaran and Georgian! This is a South-Caucasian song, and above all a song, and it should not lead to ethnicizing polemics!
No, mate, I'm the one fucking your mother and after 9 months you just emerged. So, I think, Luke, that I'm your father!
Why do you insulted me for nothing, you crazy hysterical fuck?? Did I offended you in some way, you shitty head? I just commented about what I noticed! Adjaran or Georgian- give me a break... I'm just Romanian. Crazy son of a bitch! Go and take your medication.
unfortunately the last song is not georgian... some anti-talanted person (probably armenian) sings it in russian... not a good addition to your video... anyway, i live in batumi and love it... thanks to shot my hause... :)
I am sorry, this song IS from Georgia (the name of the band is Sakeipo), even if they sing in Russian and if they maybe are ethnically armenian... But whan does it mean, ethnic? Anayway, it was humour...
