"One day I will sing the songs with no lyrics and everyone can imagine for themselves if it's abut love, disappointment, banalities or about Plato," sings Juana Molina in the opening title song of her new album, 'Un Día,' due for release Oct. 7.

We've all watched the conflicts in the Caucasus nation of Georgia in recent days with great sadness, and perhaps with some perplexity. Listening to music from the region may not help alleviate the sense of sorrow.
