(Georgia) Here is a band that takes a modernizing approach to Georgian traditional music. It's an invigorating fusion that buoys up the wonderful polyphony, and creates tremendous excitement in the process.  Zaza Miminoshvili on guitar, Zurab J. Gagnidze on bass, and Mamuka Ghaghanidze scatting away and playing percussion, provide the jazz influences that push the rhythms and lines to the limit, and David Skhirtladze delivers the fancy footwork. This is a performance from 2005 in Tbilisi, the capitol of Georgia.
