Tamta (GE)

Tamta is a fashion-forward pop artist born and raised in Georgia, now firmly established in the Greek music industry. Change is the most radical constant in her career. She experiments relentlessly across genres, weaving English, Georgian, and Greek influences into her own unique sound. There is something undeniably authentic in everything she does with the willingness to push back against anything commercial or conventional. She has architected a high-energy universe and a safe space for her 360,000+ monthly Spotify listeners.

Her LP “Identity Crisis” marked the beginning of a more mature artistic chapter, while the double LP “The VILLAIN HEROINE” cemented her position in the experimental sonic landscape. Her bold vision extends well beyond music, erupting into a fully realized visual narrative, told through fashion and her unmistakable posthuman aesthetic.

She has represented Cyprus at Eurovision, served as a judge on X Factor in Greece and Georgia, and has collaborated with global brands including Mugler, Adidas, and Converse. In recent years she has steadily expanded her international footprint while maintaining a deep and genuine connection with the Queer community through her sold-out appearances at SMUT Athens. Her recent singles “SOMA DANEIKO” “SE EIDA SE MENA” “TOP” and “AUTOTAPINOSI” signal the new and dynamic directions of an artist whose momentum cannot be contained.

IBERI (GE)

In ancient times, the country of Georgia was called Iberia; the vocal ensemble IBERI honors its homeland’s historic traditions in song. IBERI sings work songs, carols, hymns, historical ballads, and a host of treasures from the pre-Christian era with gripping intensity and virtuosity.

Clad in their trademark black coats and boots, the musicians’ iconic brand of polyphonic singing features blocks of unconventional improvised harmonies with wild stratospheric falsetto tones floating above sepulchral bass notes. Drama, ecstasy, and tenderness are at the core of every note IIBERI sings.

Apart from singing IBERI incorporates elements of dance and traditional instruments into its concerts.

These are songs so beautiful, they were launched into space on Voyager 2’s golden record and declared an intangible cultural treasure by UNESCO.

Since their debut in 2012 IBERI has performed at significant festivals, like Tallinn Music Week, WOMEX, globalFEST, WOMAD, Sori Festival, and at numerous festivals around the world from the USA till Malaysia.
