The most astonishing you will find the traditional polyphonic singing that Georgians adore performing both on stage and spontaneously. This is one of the oldest singing techniques that attracts "wows" from everyone who hears it. Generally, there are three types of polyphony that exist in different areas of Georgia: in Svaneti, it is a "complex" polyphony; in Eastern Georgia polyphony with a base background is more common; and "contrasted" polyphony is typical for Western Georgia.
