xiphophilos 18th Aug 2019		Traditional Georgian music is known for its vocal polyphony, and its earliest recordings feature members of the Kavsadze family and melodies in the Eastern Georgian so-called Kartli-Kakheti style of polyphony. This style of singing is characterized by "two highly embellished melodic lines (that) develop rhythmically free on the background of pedal drone."(source) Between 1907-1911, The Gramophone Co. made its first expedition to Georgia, recording performances of a choir led by Sandro Kavsadze. By 1914, his nephew Mikheil Kavsadze (1880-1951) had followed in Sandro's footsteps and was directing three choirs in Tbilisi; one of them is featured on these recordings.(source) I can't offer a video of these recordings, but this modern version of "Mravalzhamier" may give an impression:
