It talks about freedom in a very poetic way and the flaming yearning to return to our home. The melody comes from Grecìa Salentina, an area in Southern Italy that speaks Griko, a rare Greek dialect. The area had significant Greek influences, initiated by the ancient Magna Graecia colonization in the 8th century BCE. The melody is performed by Eleni Eljona Sinjari on vocals, Theodore Koumartzis on a custom ancient lyre masterfully handcrafted by the LUTHIEROS family, and Marios Podaras on the violin. ⚫ Find the perfect lyre for you at 🔵 Learn how to play the lyre and other ancient musical instruments at 📽️ Directed by Nikolaos Koumartzis.
