5 reasons why Georgians love to sing

What comes to mind when we hear the word "Georgia"? Of course, wine and songs!

Can you imagine a non-singing (and non-drinking) Georgian? Me not.

And how cool they get to sing! You can disobey. And sometimes it feels like a song for a Georgian is almost the most important thing in life.

But I wonder why they love to sing so much? Why are Georgians considered one of the most singing nations?

They like to sing because they drink a lot

And who doesn’t like to sing warming up with something strong? Why are karaoke bars so popular now? Yes, and we still have any feast somewhere in the outback always ends with songs) And the Georgians love the feast, and even like that !!! In Georgia, a feast is a cult! And table singing since childhood in the blood of any Georgian. In Georgia, in my opinion, they are going to drink solely in order to sing later!

Because they are funny

It could even be. And what fun without songs?

Well, the truth is, they should not be entertained by the "stand-ups" and not look at the "Petrosyans" in the box.

For a Georgian, the best fun is to sing a song! "Thaw, thaw, thaw, this one ... tari-tarida ..." and dance of course)

Because they don’t have musical instruments

And here, by the way, there is some truth. Do you know at least one famous Georgian pianist, violinist, guitarist? Unlikely.

What kind of tools do Georgians have? Panduri - "Georgian guitar" of 3 strings, salamuri with duduk - different "pipes", and the drum "Nagar")

There wasn’t enough Georgians for more, and why? You can sing! The instrument is needed only for the background, and the drum for the rhythm)

Cultural feature

Although this is more likely not a cause, but a consequence, but still. Singing and dancing is a part of Georgian culture, and a very impressive part of it! Georgian choral singing is known all over the world, and we must not forget it and support it! They learn to sing here from early childhood, so it is almost impossible to find a non-singing Georgian. Yes, there are famous solo singers, but still they rarely sing one at a time, but when at least three Georgians get together ... you can already give a concert!

Nature is such

I read somewhere that the southern peoples (especially Africa and Asia) are characterized by such choral singing. That they have it somewhere genetically laid down, and the song serves as a kind of mechanism for cohesion and unification of the people. If we Europeans are increasingly moving away and separating from each other, then among the southern peoples, on the contrary, everyone is striving to unite! And what to do when united? Right, sing!
