* TABLE SONGS FESTIVAL *

Inspired by “Supra”, the Georgian tradition of gathering around a feast table and participating in folk songs, music, and dance, the Table Songs Festival showcased four cultures’ different ways of celebrating life.

Participants:

Onefourfive (Seattle) – Georgian tradition
To headline the event and celebrate the inspiration for this event, we welcomed the Georgian polyphonic singing group “onefourfive”. They demonstrated Georgian folk dancing, truly one of the most spectacular dance traditions in the world:
