If you’re fond of donkeys & like a bit of Georgian polyphonic singing accompanied by a panduri, check out @MandiliTrio
The trio was originally a four piece group, but a few months ago their baritone, Michael Gove, went missing & hasn’t been seen since. (H/T @MarieAnnUK)
You may have missed my story on ‘Shanty Pete’ & sea shanty addiction
Just as the world was waking up to this danger, along comes Georgian polyphonic singing
It can start slowly - the tapping of a toe - but like shanties, these songs are highly addictive & extremely contagious.

BOY: I went to the forest to gather wood, I cut a tree in a ravine
Oh, girl, how I like your beautiful neck
GIRL: Don’t pester me, boy, my joy & sorrow
Is that your nose or Shakriani bridge?

Following concerns that the line “Is that your nose or Shakriani Bridge?” - although funny - could be seen as body-shaming, I tracked down the boy in the song, Misha Gakharia
He doesn’t object to the lyric, & it’s true
His nose DOES look like the Shakriani Bridge

The remix is of @MandiliTrio’s first song to go viral, back in 2017
Apareka is a courting song and goes:
“The night sky is covered in blankets of stars
Where are you, boy, I can't see you
The night passed with their conversations
Dewy morning appeared”

#BREAKING Following my exclusive story last month about "Shanty Pete" - a advertising exec who became hooked on sea shanties during lockdown - I had a call from his wife today
As feared, Pete discovered #triomandili & a new addiction set in
His new nickname is "Polyphonic Pete"
