| Mp3 | About this song | Region |
|---|---|---|
| Kiziqiri Mgzavruli | "Folk song accompanied all walks of daily life in traditional Georgian culture. This travel song from eastern Georgia passes the time for relatives riding to a neighbor's wedding, a traditional feast, or coming to and from the fields." | Kiziqi |
| Dali Koja | From the high mountain passes of Northwest Georgia, ancient songs in unique tunings predate the Christian era. Featuring the chuniri (bowed viol) and hangi (Svanetian harp), this ritual song recounts the birth of demi-God Dali. | Svaneti |
| Kalo Khalebit Nakargo | This folk song is typical of solo-chorus ballads from eastern Georgia, and features the regional strummed panduri, a three-stringed fretted lute. | Mtiuluri |
| Alilo | The polyphonic liturgical chant tradition has roots in the 10th century, but traditional Christmas and Easter carols, such as this version of Alilo from eastern Georgia, may be even older. The words are characteristic of Christmas carols, "On the 25th of December, our Savior was born in Bethlehem... to this land, let peace and light reign." | Kartl-Kakheti |
