The Shin are a Georgian fusion jazz band formed in Germany in 1998. The Shin are Zaza Miminoshvili (guitars, panduri), Zurab J. Gagnidze (bass, vocals) and Mamuka Gaganidze (vocals, percussion). The music of The Shin smoothly combines Georgian folk melodies with jazz, famous native polyphonic singing with scat, and tunes of the near Orient and flamenco with a modern Western sound. They teamed up with singer Mariko Ebralidze to perform at the Eurovision Song Contest 2014 in Copenhagen, for Georgia with the song Three Minutes to Earth. They did not qualify for the final.
