‘Adilei : Georgian polyphony concert’

Ensemble Adilei consists of a group of friends who perform traditional Georgian songs and chants. 

Adilei’s main passion lies in the songs from the province of Guria in Western Georgia (though other regions are also represented in their repertoire). Gurian music is sometimes compared to jazz, because of the emphasis on improvisation, and non-parallel movement in all the voice parts. Gurian song is also characterized by k’rimanch’uli, a yodeling technique often present in the upper voice.
