Help us hit 500 members by the end of October Become a member‘Who is the Sukhumian boy?’, ask Georgian artists Tamada (Lasha Chkhapelia/Chapel) and DillaNext (Zura Jishkariani, known for Kung Fu Junkie and KayaKata) in their new song and music video — ‘Sokhumeli Bichi’, meaning Sukhumian boy.
‘Or like, “Leave him alone, he’s from Sukhumi” ’, Tamada adds.
The song lyrics carry another quiet Sukhumian moral code: lay no blame, a phrase Tamada repeats,‘We Sukhumian people are not like that.
‘We want the world to know the Sukhumian boy exists’, he continues.
‘It’s about the Sukhumi boy in Georgia, in exile elsewhere, even in Sukhumi today’, a concept made clear from the start of the interview, with Tamada noting that even his grandmother, Neli Kakashvili, is a Sukhumi boy.
