Dodecanesian Costumes of Karpathos

The song is ΠΑΝΩ ΧΟΡΟΣ -- Pano Choros [High Dance] from Guardians of Hellenism VOL 10 (Karpathos, Kasos, Kastellorizo)

Karpathos (Κάρπαθος) is part of the Dodecanese (Δωδεκάνησα), the Doric twelve islands of the south aegean. Their costumes are colourful and their ancient music is very lively.

Notes on the song:

'High Dance - Danced by men and women, it is the favourite dance of North Karpathos. Its main characteristic is the continuous leaps to an ever escalating rhythm, until the 'mantinades' (serenades) stop and only the instruments continue to play.

The dancers change the lead, when the leading dancer tires, he goes to the end with his partner and is replaced by the last couple. '

Singer: Andreas Fasakis

Translation:

The flower of May I put in my hair,
With its scent to draw my beloved near.
Like the cool breath of the East wind blowing,
So do you seem my star in the moon's shadow.
