Thank you for this post. I am an American and my parentage is Irish and Greek. I always found it interesting (and sometimes downright uncanny) just how similar my two sides of the family were. The singing, the culture, their outlook on life all have striking commonalities.
Thanks for commenting! Yes, the similarities are obvious!! Maybe because both musics are pentatonic! This music (epirus music) comes from epirot mountains and it is clearly a mountainous music....
mostly Epiros, and western Makedonia where i'm from, we're all cousins, we eat the same food, listen to the same music, work our asses off,Shqiptar or Ellinas
Η αποσιωπημένη πανάρχαια λέξη για τα θρηνώδη-ανακουφιστικά & όχι μοιρολατρικά τραγούδια είναι μΥρολόγια (ρήμα μύρομαι=θρηνώ).Οι Έλληνες δεν ήταν μοιρολάτρες, ούτε τα τραγούδια αυτά ήταν κλαψιάρικα, όπως διάφορα πολυδιαφημιζόμενα ασιατικά.
