The Lashari Folklore Ensemble was formed in 1994. Its repertoire encompasses folk songs from various parts of Georgia, performed mostly in the ensemble's own arrangements, a practice contributing to the revival of this particular type of music. The ensemble has worked with Georgian Radio, in whose broadcasts it has been bringing to the general public's attention songs many of which have fallen into oblivion for over a century. Lashari has toured extensively, performing in many countries and taking part in numerous festivals and contests (Oslo, Samarkand, Newport, Expo 2000 Hanover, etc.). The Lashari ensemble has to its credit an extensive discography. Its work has been covered regularly by both Georgian and international press, radio and television companies.
