| Description: |
In this chapter I explore two phenomena relating to the internationalisation of Georgia’s polyphonic singing traditions in recent times: (1) the presentation of Georgian polyphony as a form of world music, associated primarily with international festivals and concert tours and further disseminated via CDs, YouTube videos and other forms of digital media; and (2) the appearance of an ever-growing number of Georgian choirs and ensembles made up of non-Georgians in many countries outside Georgia. At a theoretical level, my discussion resonates with contemporary themes in ethnomusicology, including the aesthetics and discourses of world music, intercultural performance, and the politics of heritage in a global age. |
