Chakrulo (Georgian ჩაკრულო, literally “bound by an oath“) is a Georgian folk choral song that appeared in Kakheti. It consists of two individual vocals against the background of a slow chorus. The song is dedicated to preparing warriors for battle against the tyrant who oppresses the people. In 2001, the song, as an example of Georgian choral (polyphonic) singing, was included in the UNESCO List of Masterpieces of the Oral and Intangible Cultural Heritage of Humanity. Chakrulo, along with other man-made masterpieces, was recorded on the NASA Gold Plaque attached to the interstellar spacecraft Voyager 1 and Voyager 2, which were launched on August 20, 1977.
