Here I will post about Lazish people

Lazes and their mountain version Tzans live in the South-West Caucasus near the Black Sea coast
They are the only Caucasian people who were and are typical Sea people
Part of Lazistan are now Turkey, other little part is on Georgian side

Laz folk songs, dances, poetry is connected mainly with the sea and fishings

When the Black Sea coast of Anatolia and Less Caucasus mountain systems were populated by Indo-European migrations and then by Altayc peoples, Lazes were the only aboriginal little ethnose who survived in their mountainous Black Sea coast. They are from little South Caucasian language group that is said to be part of one Caucasian language family that includes Mingrelian (actual Mingrelian and Laz/Tzan are two dialects of one language), Svan and Kart languages.

Laz round dance called after Greek "Khoroni" typical for Pontic Greeks and Lesser Caucasus Black Sea Lazo-Kartvelians
Round dances are popular among all Kartvelians but this type is spread in the Lesser Caucasus Black Sea neighbour Kartvelian region to the historical Greek Pontus (after local Greek genocide the region is colonized and settled by Turkish population. The Pontic Greek culture in nowadays Turkey is know as Black Sea Turkish)

Historical Lazona is divided between Turkey and Georgia.

Sadly It has not official status in both countries.
The most part of Lazona is in Turkey and is divided between different municipalities and regions of Turkey. (little trolling of local Turkish chaivinists. hope once autochthonic Laz people return its own land with its language, culture and civilization in it).

LOL :lol:
Pontians, Blacksea Turks, Hemshins and Lazes don't have similiar cultures, they have one culture. They have one lifestyle and one mentality. Only religions and languages can change, nothing more. I am talking about our Lazes by the way.
Singing technique in the video that you posted is unfortunately not part of our(including Lazes too) culture. We don't have polyphonic singing.
That ''dance'' in the ending is extremely simple to be associated with anything from my region. It is extremely funny to post serra there. It is even funnier to claim that it is similiar with the ''dance'' in your vid :lol:
So it is not common with folk of Pontians. If it was, it would not be ''deturkified''.

This is what real horon is btw..

It is also extremely funny for you to relate pherkhuli with ''Zorba Dance''
Smurfs have round dance too. Saying it to give you more cultures that you can associate yourself :lol:
https://www.imagevisit.com/images/2019/06/17/smurf.png

Name of that dance is Sirtaki, zorba is name of the film. Zorba is a Turkish word that possibly has Persian roots. It means bully.
Original name of the dance is hasapiko. Sirtaki is like a very recent version of hasapiko. It played by butchers of Istanbul orginally and most of that butchers were Albanians. Dance took its name from that butchers. Kasap means butcher in Turkish.

Sorry man but Oghuz Turks your grandfathers conquered these regions performed genocide of Pontic Greek and settled there themselves

There is a big difference between Ellinian culture and Turkic cultures to see whose dances and music are they
Its ancient culture man
Ancient culture of Hellados + Colchian tribes
Real Turkish dances and music are somewhere in middle Anatolia
Turks' folklore is quite different
Even I say it is not Laz culture
Because its very much influenced by Greek and other ancient cultures of the region but it is not original Laz culture but mix. Turks came very late and they brought Asiatic notes.
Pontic Greeks dance Horoni like true Hellas and Turks like more Asian people
We Georgians try to clean how its possible Laz folklore from Greek mix and late Turkish influence
But we can not restore of course their folk of pre Greek period - 7-6 cen. BC and we make it only like our folk thinking we are making it original
