Wow this is the grave where a bunch of people from my papous family was burried... the Kiriakakos and Mavromichalis families. I was there last month I miss Limeni so much.

The excerpt here is from Stratis Thalassinos on the Dead Sea by George Seferis

[trahila2]

Ode to Mani's people always persevere despite the ever-present death.Xylouris' wailing voice compliments the images,himself enveloped by death,his unique voice is unforgettable.I can smell the sea and feel the breeze in my hair. I can gaze at the sunset,hear the sea,the rustling through the bushes and bare ground. I can sense my ancestors' plight.Seferis stirs in his readers images of Mnemosyne and Lethe alike. Very touching video visually and musically.

The music is Nikos Ksilouris. He is one of the greatest singers in Greece, he is dead now, he is from the island of Crete, and he is a legend in Greece (obviously you understand why from the music and the lyrics!)
