Description
The Caprice album Grekisk folkmusik (IevnTEIJEVO 1,,1ou nouAi) is finally reissued, for the first time on CD with 9 extra tracks, and a comprehensive booklet on Greek folk music and the woman behind this production - Domna Samiou. In the summer of 1979, Greek folk singer Domna Samiou [1928-2012) travelled around Sweden. Accompanying her was her folk music group, consisting of musicians from various parts of Greece, handpicked by Domna herself, as well as the dance troupe Eleni Tsaouli. Caprice Records made several recordings in connection to this tour, which lead to an album release in 1980. The tour and its resulting record had a profound impact, not only on the roughly 20 000 Greeks living in Sweden at the time, but also on many Swedes who, before this, had perhaps only come in contact with the music of Mikis Theodorakis or the occasional bouzouki melody on a holiday visit to Greece. Here, the audience was introduced to the multifaceted musical treasure of Greece, and learned about its historical background.
