The voices of Georgia’s Ensemble Basiani sing a program highlighting the rich polyphonic music tradition of their homeland in the Caucasus. The diversity of Georgian vocal music varies from region to region and mirrors aspects of daily life—music for prayer, work, healing, love, play. Clad in traditional tunics and boots, the men of Basiani balance polyphony with work songs, circle dances, and table songs—and the sound of krimanchuli, Georgian yodeling.
