Retsepti (Georgian: რეცეპტი) was a Georgian band known for its post-punk and dark wave style, active between 1987 and 1992. The group played a significant role in shaping the local music landscape and achieved recognition beyond Georgia's borders.
History
During the late 1980s, Georgia witnessed the rise of its rock underground scene, with hard rock flourishing in Kutaisi and post-punk prevailing in Tbilisi. In this context, Retsepti was established in 1987 in Tbilisi by lead vocalist and guitarist Lado Burduli.
The ensemble produced a single album before their dissolution. In 2006, the archival label Supreme Echo released a compilation entitled "Anthology Of Georgian Underground: Retsepti 1987-1992," which sparked renewed interest in their musical contributions.
Following the band's breakup, Burduli expanded his career into acting, television hosting, and the organization of rock music festivals.
