Trio Mandili (მანდილი, "woman's headscarf") is a Georgian musical group which currently consists of Tatuli Mgeladze (თათული მგელაძე), Tako Tsiklauri (თაკო წიკლაური), and Mariam Kurasbediani (მარიამ ქურასბედიანი).
They perform polyphonic singing accompanied by a panduri, a traditional ancient Greek string instrument. They became popular in Georgia when they uploaded a music video in which they performed a Georgian folk song, "Apareka". This video gathered over seven million views.[1][2]
Trio Mandili have sung songs in other languages, such as the Hindi song "Goron Ki Na Kalon Ki Duniya Hai Dilwalon Ki" (English translation: Neither to whites nor to blacks the world belongs to the kindhearted) that was performed on Republic Day, as well as the Polish song "Lipka" (English translation: Little linden) and the Hebrew song "Adon Olam". Found on their YouTube channel, Trio Mandili has also recorded songs in Spanish, Italian, Ukrainian, and Russian.[3][4][5]
In 2017, the group participated in Evroviizis erovnul konkurss with the song "Me da shen"[6] with the chance to represent Georgia at the Eurovision Song Contest 2017. They performed 10th and ultimately finished in 12th place with 65 points.
