Singing to Sarah 7: Special Georgian Edition

This week's recording is an awesome guest appearance by Rho. She sings Shapenote and Georgian Folk music. The Georgian choir she works with recently did this piece in 3-part harmony, but I like the plaintive sound of one solo voice on the melody here.

This is a lullaby, traditionally sung to lure the evil spirits that cause infectious diseases out of a sick child. With any luck, it's also preventative!
