Trio Mandili — Live in Orlando, May 8, 2027
The three voices that carried Georgian folk song around the world — live at the Georgian Festival in Casselberry, FL.
Three voices, one panduri, and a sound that traveled the globe. Trio Mandili turned a simple Georgian folk song into a worldwide phenomenon — and on Saturday, May 8, 2027, they're bringing it live to Orlando at the Georgian Food & Cultural Festival.
It began in 2014, when three young women filmed themselves singing the folk song "Apareka" as they strolled down a street in Georgia. The clip went viral, gathering millions of views and introducing audiences around the world to the haunting beauty of Georgian polyphony. Today Trio Mandili is one of the most recognizable names in Georgian folk music.
Their signature is Georgian polyphony — the layered, close-harmony singing that UNESCO honors as an Intangible Cultural Heritage of Humanity — carried by the panduri, a traditional three-string lute. They have sung not only in Georgian but in Hindi, Polish, and Hebrew, charming listeners far beyond the Caucasus.
