A blog about world and global music from a guy who co-hosts the KUNM Global Music Show, 89.9 FM Albuquerque/Santa Fe, http://www.kunm.org. I post one song a day, with reflections on the music, life, and whatever else comes into my mind.

They Perform with Daggers: Iberi Choir and "Odoia"
Today's random tune is by the Iberi Choir from the Republic of Georgia. Established in 2012, this polyphonic male choir's goal is to popularize Georgian folklore in Georgia and beyond by maintaining the ancient Georgian singing traditions. They look for traditional songs, even from the pagan era, as well as from all regions of Georgia and then modernize them in their vocalizations. Their songs range from rousing drinking songs to sad folk songs. This song, Odoia, is from their debut album First (2014).
Listen to songs like this and more on the KUNM Global Music Show every Monday night from 10 pm - 1 am Mountain Standard Time. Live streaming, program information and the two-week digital archive can be found at http://www.kunm.org.
