Kakhuri Folk Song by Trio Mandili 

They first uploaded this Georgian folk song recorded on a mobile in a very informal rural setting in March 2021 that instantly generated five million views.

Now Trio Mandili is a 3 girl musical group from the country of Georgia. They perform polyphonic singing accompanied by a panduri, a traditional Georgian string instrument.

Trio Mandili in Georgian means a "woman's headscarf". 

Kakhuri is a grape variety used to make Georgian wines. It is used to make white wine. It was so named to refer to the yellowish-green coloring of the ripened berries. ... In the Georgian language the word mtsvane means new, young and green. This song is filmed around a Georgian grape vine.

Trio Mandili have now launched a website too = [triomandili.com]

The song lyrics
............
Tako (to the donkey), "Come...!"
Tatuli: "Tako, have you brought a friend?"
Tako: "Yes, mother donkey..."

Sing Kakhuri, sing my dear!
Start dance, attitude you will change!

Girl, look here,
where did your mind run?

I will go in the forest for materials,
I will cut a tree in a valley!

Girl, have you changed,
are you ready?
Is Magusa fed?

Boy, what did you do to me?
Full of sugar is your freckle nose,
Or is the bridge over the frozen river?

Grow, my green corn!
Bake and make cereals!

If the grandfather died ...
Now responsibility is in your hands!

What started as a casual recording on a mobile phone broke the internet with instant 5 million views, no record companies and marketing companies needed. I am so happy that YouTube and other platforms have opened doors for the young generation who are free to showcase their talents to the world without investments, without dependency on brokers and the powers be.

Lovely. Though I think that the donkey is not so sure, and would like to be out of there.

I have a friend that's working for an NGO there so I had to share it with her.

I like the harmonizing

Very nice. Just be aware, Georgia is in the Caucasus, not a Baltic country.
