Carnival songs with their ritual bawdiness – ‘sacred in the profane’ – disturbed the prudish devotees of tradition. The recordings come with a detailed booklet analysing the pagan and ritualistic context in which these songs are performed.
These “sacred in the profane” songs of the Carnival with their ritual bawdiness disturbed the prudish “devotees” of tradition. The records are accompanied by a detailed booklet analyzing the pagan and ritualistic context in which these songs are performed.
The wealth of Greek traditional music has been enriched by every aspect of maritime tradition – by its values, virtues and charm – as is amply demonstrated by this wonderful collection of songs.
