SPARKS presents — a concert by one of the pioneers of Georgian folk and folk-rock music, Niaz Diasamidze, and his band 33ა, at the Grand Hall of the Philharmonic.
Special guests: the renowned Polish band VOLOSI.
Niaz Diasamidze is a true polymath — apart from writing music and lyrics, he paints, makes folk instruments, crafts wine, restores furniture, and more. His music reflects this diversity — a unique blend of reggae, rock, folk, gypsy melodies, and Tbilisi-inspired sounds — from duduks to Otar Ramishvili. Sometimes, all of it comes together in a single song.
Creative honesty and constant exploration have made 33ა one of Georgia’s most beloved bands for over 25 years. And of course, 33ა is more than Niaz — the band includes some of the country’s top musicians, who are essential to its distinctive sound.
VOLOSI — a Polish band with over 900 concerts worldwide — was born in the Beskid Mountains after an unexpected meeting between traditional and contemporary musicians. Their music is wild, expressive, and blends genres like rock, punk, jazz, and film scores with ambient textures — all performed entirely on string instruments, making their sound truly exceptional.
VOLOSI’s performances are emotional and immersive — joyful, inspiring, soulful, melancholic, and deeply reflective. They’ve been praised by The Guardian, BBC, RFWM Festival, and many more.
On April 26, VOLOSI will share the stage with Niaz Diasamidze & 33ა at the Philharmonic Grand Hall.
