★ Trio Mandili ★ Budapest ★ Kobuci ★
Three young, charming and beautiful women from a remote village in the Caucasus of Georgia have used the Internet, YouTube and Facebook to gain incredible fame and become global stars in just a few weeks.

The "tale" began on an ordinary day, when the three friends were walking along the highway in their village in bright weather and started singing in high spirits. Tatuli used her phone to record one of their favourite and often sung songs, Apareka, which has since become a world hit, and uploaded it to the Internet. The video changed the girls' lives dramatically, with the song reaching millions of views within two weeks.
The Trio Mandili's fame spread around the world and within days the band had a huge fanbase that is growing by the day.
The trio's name is "Mandili" - a type of Georgian headscarf worn by women with great frequency. According to tradition, this shawl is thrown on the ground when there is a dispute between two men who want to make peace.
Naturally, the unexpected success made the girls very happy, but despite this, Tatuli Mgeladze, Tamara Tsiklauri and Mariam Kurasbediani remained humble in their singing and songs.
Trio Mandili tours all over the world, are regular performers at folk festivals and host highly successful solo concerts. In addition to Georgia, Trio Mandili have captured the hearts of audiences across Europe, in Kazakhstan and in Israel.
Kobuci kert
World music evenings, jazz stories, underground, folk music in all its forms and some very serious blues. All this at Kobuci, one of Budapest's best outdoor venues with a garden.
