Domna Samiou - Music from Greece '2018

Tracks list

When we use the terms Greek traditional, Grek folk, or Greek demotic music
today, we mean songs and tunes coming from the past, from areas that were home
to Christian farmers, shepherds and sailors during the Byzantine and Ottoman
periods. Mostly- though not exclusively- Greek speaking, these populations
lived, as was normal then, in close proximity with other ethnic, linguistic, or
religious groups. In these areas, some of which now form modern-day Greece, the
oral tradition of folk song and ecclesiastical music were the only available
forms of musical expression. This album is the highly anticipated re-release of
the 1980 album of the same name, extended with tracks licensed from the Domna
Samiou Greek Folk Music Association. Domna Samiou (1928-2012) was a charismatic
and multifaceted personality who dedicated her life to a quest which is now
synonymous with her name: the preservation, dissemination and teaching of Greek
traditional folk music.
