Kitka & Trio Kavkasia - Sazeimo Perkhuli

Kitka women's vocal ensemble Trio Kavkasia 2/19/11 Santa Cruz, California Holy Cross Church Sazeimo Perkhuli Perkhuli is an ancient Georgian song and dance form traditionally sung by men. This festive round dance from the northwestern mountains of Georgia features a text consisting entirely of nonsense words such as "worera", "voisa-rera", "dila-wadila", etc. Carl Linich first learned this song in The Kartuli Ensemble from a transcription made by Georgian ethnomusicologist Joseph Jordania
