10 Day Folk-Cultural Tour in Georgia

Love folk music and polyphonic songs? Get pleasure when listening to good music? Then Georgia is a must-visit-country for you. Enjoy Georgian folklore in 10 days. Georgian folklore is recognized as the masterpiece of humanity and is included in the list of UNESCO oral immaterial heritage. Perhaps you know that the Georgian folk song Chakrulo was sent to the space together with other masterpieces of the world as an example of the culture of the humane race. Each region represents its people’s character in its folk songs. Each of them has its own and different style of songs and dances. The songs open the inner world of the Georgian people and reveal their warm, hospitable, and generous nature. Three voice vocal techniques is the main characteristic of the Georgian folk songs though in Guria where folk polyphony reaches the extreme contrapuntal complexity some songs use four-voice vocal techniques.
