Megrelian Folk Music from the country of Georgia.
The politics of this country are really interesting. Ex-Soviet bloc with border issues and internal disputes. One ethno(ethnolinguistic?) group, the Magrelians, make great music. Notice how on the YouTube video, the poster annotated "Magrelian" to cover "Georgian." Music as resistance.
Georgia claims two limited-recognition states as part of its territory.
