In 1977, humanity chose to speak to the cosmos not only in the language of its most famous composers, but in the voice of a Georgian choir whose harmonies exist beyond the reach of the piano's keys. Chakrulo, a polyphonic song from the Caucasus, was placed aboard the Voyager Golden Record alongside Bach and Chuck Berry — a quiet insistence that Earth's musical soul is irreducibly plural. Nearly fifty years later, as Voyager drifts through interstellar space, the song is returning to earthly attention, asking us to remember what we believed was worth sending.
