Pure Greek traditional tunes and music from Karpathos and Kasos islands, Greece. Instruments; Tsambouna, Lyra, Laouto and voice. Recorded live in a coffe-shop, Olymbos, Karpathos. This album is now out of print. The Lyra and the Tsambouna have survived on Karpathos for centuries. Nowadays they stir every listener-visitor on our faraway island. In our times of alienation the traditional feast of Karpathos continue to offer us unique thrills. In the form they are preserved today the songs of Karpathos and Kasos are the most genuine representatives of Greek musical tradition.
