When Dato was fourteen years old, his father organized an event honoring the legendary Svan alpinist Mikheil Khergiani.¹ Preparations for the evening inspired Dato to write a song in Misha’s name, which premiered at the event.

 

The song is particularly unique as it is in both the Georgian and Svan language. Dato says the rhythm of the song came out best this way, and he felt that as Khergiani was from Mestia himself, the Svan language suited it well.

 

¹Mikheil Khergiani (1932-1969) was a legendary Svan mountaineer. He was the most popular sportsman in the former Soviet Union when it came to wall climbing and mastering alpinism.  He created new routes to the peaks in the Caucasus and saved many climber's lives during rescue missions.  He died in a climbing accident in the Italian Alps.
