Starting the week Greek: Verity Sharp is joined by producer, author and record collector Christopher King who shares tracks from 鈥楨urope鈥檚 oldest surviving folk music鈥� 鈥� the sounds of the Epirus region.
Among King鈥檚 selections is a mirologi, an ancient pentatonic tune performed in Greece since Homeric times; and a samantakas, a dance that as he can attest, can lead to out-of-body experiences.
Produced by Jack Howson for Reduced Listening.
