 Singing we come down the mountains - Patara Georgika $18.99 (cdRoots# face-039) Traditional Songs of Georgia from the oral tradition. This polyphonic music has been taught and handed down from one generation to the next one without notes, simply by ear. The table songs, wedding songs, round dance songs, dance songs for individual and pair dances as well as comical songs are rather different in their music structure; the regional styles, however, are also very different in their character and differentiation of voices. In general, all these songs have the polyphonic or three-part singing in common. The overtones are usually, according to tradition, performed by soloists, with one of them, most frequently the second voice, starting singing. The soloists are a counterpart to the group of banebi who uniformly perform the third voice....

Please note!
Most CDs have been
imported from Europe or Asia.
They are not all
shrink-wrapped, and I am not
going to con you by wrapping them
here just to make you think they
have been sterilized in America.
We guarantee that the CDs and the
contents are all brand new and in
perfect condition. Whenever I
can, I use recycled shipping
materials. They may not look as
pretty on the outside, but they save
money and keep the trash dumps a
little bit emptier.
