Καστρινός (Μαλαβιζιώτικος)
Cretan songs and dance tunes, often based on the scales of Greek antiquity, are accompanied by the local instrument, the “Cretan lyra,” which colors their lively tempos with its unique timbre.
Four types of dances are found in Crete: the syrtos danced mainly in the Chania region, the sousta a dance characteristic of the Rethymno region, and the pentozalis and kastrinos dances from the Heraklion region.
Melody: Mode majeur
Rhythm: 2/4
Domna Samiou taped the tune in Chania, in 1965.
