Is this gaida a Greek one or a Djura bulgarian gaida?

This music is also played in Thassos, but is having a different way of dancing from Lemnos.
Traditionally, in Thassos we were using zourna and not gaida. Gaida came to the island long after zourna, but till the 60's there were gaida players in the island.
Thank you and well done.

Congratulations!
Yes, you are correct, it's from Lemnos (Kehayadikos dance).
But Thasos is the only greek island where they play gaida (if they still do). If you play any other tunes from Thasos, or if you have recorded any local gaida players, please upload!
Thank you.

There is also some stuff on my website - "Kim's Instruments" page.
I did meet some people who said this tune was from Limnos, so you might be right about that.
Thasos was the only island where I heard gaida - som others had tsambouna.
The gaida I was playing on the youtube clip was Bulgarian gaida in La.

Thanks for all your info. When I was there (1984/5) I found three gaida-players on Thasos. I don't know if there are any now. I never heard any zourna (but that doesn't mean there weren't any!) Unfortunately I don't have any vids from Thasos. I have some old cassettes I recorded there, but I have to find the right bits. If I can find them, I will post them. I also have some pics of gaida-players from different places - I will put them on my Facebook page when I sort them out.
