Ilona Danho - Goudi (Assyrian Folk Music) In a rustic setting, two women rhythmically churned butter, their voices harmonizing in song. They operated a traditional goatskin butter churn, known as a (Gutha), suspended from a sturdy wooden tripod. Creamy buttermilk, poured into the Gutha, was vigorously shaken back and forth between them. With each powerful sway, the buttermilk lipids gradually coalesced, transforming into rich, natural butter. | Assyrian songs
