Epirotic folk music with Christopher King

Starting the week Greek. Verity Sharp is joined by producer, author and record collector Christopher King who shares tracks from ‘Europe’s oldest surviving folk music’.

Starting the week Greek: Verity Sharp is joined by producer, author and record collector Christopher King who shares tracks from ‘Europe’s oldest surviving folk music’ – the sounds of the Epirus region.

Among King’s selections is a mirologi, an ancient pentatonic tune performed in Greece since Â鶹ԼÅÄric 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.
