SINATLIS TSELITSADI (a.k.a THE LIGHT YEAR, in Georgian: სინათლის წელიწადი) were formed in 2004 in Tbilisi, Georgia. Their music is daring and furious blend of classical music, various aspects of progressive rock, Georgian folk and much more. They released their debut \"Sky Way\" in 2004 (it's a live recording) with the following line-up: Gigi Gegelashvili (author, arrangement, vocals, grand piano, acoustic guitar, flute), David Keinashvili (arrangement, keyboards, keyboard bass, vocals) Helen Mechitova (violin, vocals) Natia Chugoshvili (violin, vocals), Giorgi Kikabidze (cello), Zaza Tsertsvadze (drums, percussion).
They released their second album, \"Python's Dream\" in 2007. David Changoshvili replaced Tsertsvadze on drums, Gvantsa Matiashvili replaced Kikabidze on cello (while doing some vocals as well), Koba Manjgaladze joined a band with electric guitar and George Iobashvili on bass.
Their project of rock-cantata (with symphonic orchestra and 150 musicians in choir), named \"Generation XXI\" was the first of the kind in the history of Georgia. The band's sense for spectacular plus it's unique blend of musical styles is a must for every progressive rock fan.
Steps To Life was released in 2016 and has been followed by an amazing Live Gig in Tbilisi.
