The popular American singer Bruno Mars on Sunday performed at the Dinamo Arena stadium in the Georgian capital city of Tbilisi as part of Starring Georgia, a series of shows promoting the country's tourism potential and showcasing it on the map of entertainment events around the world. 

A memorable moment of the performance came with a rendition of Tbiliso, a song by the popular late Georgian composer Revaz Lagidze, on the stage of the show.
