Traditional music from the Caucasus Mountains features some languages previously not recorded and some instruments that are very rare. Add to that vocals, accordions, violins, and stringed instruments like balalaikas that produce melodies and harmonies that are not only of historical interest. Very enjoyable listens, even far from these mountains.

The Caucasus region is between the Black Sea and the Caspian Sea and includes parts of Russia, Georgia, Azerbaijan, and Armenia.
