Found on their YouTube channel, Trio Mandili has also recorded songs in Spanish, Italian, Ukrainian, and Russian.
In 2017, the group participated in Evroviizis erovnul konkurss with the song "Me da shen" with the chance to represent Georgia at the Eurovision Song Contest 2017. They performed 10th and ultimately finished in 12th place with 65 points.
