With stunning vocal harmonies and traditional Georgian woodwind and string instruments, Samida takes their audience on a musical journey through the Caucasus, Anatolia and the Balkans. Don’t miss a unique evening when the three sisters of Samida take the stage at ALICE. Presented in collaboration with Danimarka Events.

Samida means “three sisters” in Georgian, and the trio was formed in 2016 by Yudum, Damla and Tamara Şahin. Drawing on Georgia’s rich tradition of polyphonic singing, the three musicians have developed a distinctive and charismatic sound where traditional melodies meet new interpretations and original compositions. Samida’s music moves freely across the Caucasus, Anatolia, the Balkans and other musical traditions. At the heart of it all are the sisters’ goosebump-inducing vocal harmonies, unfolding alongside a carefully selected array of traditional and classical instruments.

Yudum Şahin plays the lute-like panduri and cello, and sings, while Damla Şahin brings the traditional Georgian woodwind instruments salamuri and balaban into play alongside flute and vocals. Tamara Şahin completes the trio’s sound with violin and vocals. The result is a vibrant and intimate concert experience where centuries-old singing traditions are brought to life anew through three powerful musical voices. Don’t miss a unique evening when Samida takes the stage at ALICE.
