Different regions in Georgia have their own dances, including the Racha region, whose dance is called rachuli. This dance is performed with special music called rachuli music. The dancers often wear a special costume which is the traditional costume of the Racha region. Men and women participate in the rachuli dance together, but their traditional clothes are different.
Racha (რაჭა) is a high area in the northwest of Georgia. Two cities, Oni and Ambrolauri, are located in this area. Residents of Racha are known to be slow among Georgians, but on the contrary, rachuli dance is very fast and dynamic. Rachuli music and dance often starts with a slow rhythm but gradually accelerates to a dizzying speed.
In rachuli music, an instrument called gudastviri is used, which has different types. In Racha, it is called stviri. The stviri is made from the skin and horn of a sheep
