Folk music of Cyprus: Traditional
songs and dances of the Greek community.
Music influenced by the countries surrounding Greece and Cyprus, performed by
various artists including Mikhaile Teresas, Despina Kalokotroni and Philippos
Pyrros.
'The soils of Greece, as the philosopher Plato noted more than 2,000 years ago, are thin
and poor, and over much of the country the bare rock shows at the surface. Yet from this
soil grew one of the greatest civilizations in the history of the Western World. Here is
the music of this ancient island nation, and it's equally ancient sister, Cyprus. The
folk dances, ritual and ceremonial songs and instruments of a hundred generations are
preserved here in this unique compilation, carefully gathered by Lyrichord. "Folk Music
of Greece and Cyprus" offers a rare, honest glimpse at the musical culture and rituals of these Ancient people, free from the glossy, romantic, veneer, borne of more than a
century of tourism.'
