A new composition performed by Ruslan Malaev - “Schaueishe” (“Wedding Rite”) was released today.
“The song“ Chaueishe ”is sung about an ancient beautiful wedding ceremony, when the groom’s friends with songs, joyful exclamations led him into the house of the elders. The groom was returned to the house late at night, under cover of darkness. A group of friends and brothers walked with him. Two of them were with him inseparably as bodyguards. The whole company chanted in unison: "Chaue Mahue idoshezh" ("We are leading the groom"). The groom himself was in the center so as not to be in sight. This guard was required in ancient times, when bringing the bride into the house was a very daring step. Today, escorting the groom is a ritual and evidence of friendship!
The youth approached the room where all the older families were waiting, except for the groom's father and grandfather; after the young man was “forgiven,” he returned to the house. The eldest of the men called the groom. On the threshold of the room, a group of three people separated from the company of friends: the groom and two accompanying him. The toastmaster offered a bowl with a hoppy drink (mahsyma), which was made from wheat grains and honey. The groom himself did not drink, the attendants did it for him. Usually, the older man announced three times that the groom was forgiven for his deed and was allowed to return to the house and live with his family for the good of the family, ”Ruslan said.
