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
