Zeimpékiko tis Evokías

One of the most well-known dances in Greece is the "dance of the girl Evdokía". I think no Greek can hear this tune without at least clapping his hands to the 9/8-rhythm. Bum-ba ba-bum ba, bum-ba ba-bum ba-ba.
(although I must admit that there may be some who can´t stand this tune any longer, it´s a real ear catcher). Just now I stumbled across a mp3-file which I recorded about one year ago sitting in my living room, playing the percussion set (mp3 from the internet) through the hifi-rack, picking my bouzouki live and recorded both in one with a microphone on a minidisc recorder. It was before I knew how to use my PC with Audacity to record music ;-)
Just now I combined it with a slide show of some photographs, which I took during several journeys to Greece.
