They perform polyphonic singing accompanied by a panduri, a traditional Georgian string instrument. They became popular in Georgia when they uploaded a music video in which they performed a Georgian folk song, "Apareka". This video gathered over seven million views.[1][2]

Trio Mandili have sung songs in other languages, such as the Hindi song "Goron Ki Na Kalon Ki Duniya Hai Dilwalon Ki" (English translation: Not to fair-skinned people or dark-skinned people, the world belongs to those with good hearts) that was performed on Republic Day, as well as the Polish song "Lipka" (English translation: Little linden).[3][4][5]

In 2017, the group participated in Evroviizis erovnul konkurss with the song "Me da shen"[6] with the chance to represent Georgia at the Eurovision Song Contest 2017. They performed 10th and ultimately finished in 12th place with 65 points.
