Traditional music at panigyria played by the group "Zevkalides"

During the last four years I had the chance to attend many feasts (panigyria) on Ikaria island. In 2016 and 2017,  I often met Nikos Fakaros and his group Musicaroi and heard them playing many times there.

In 2018, several times I came across the group "Zevkalides", with Giorgos Stroupas ("O Stroupa") on violin and bouzouki. Here are some videos I recorded, the following two are taken at the remote and special Exo Plagia panigyri on July 15th:








The following two videos I took during the large panigyri at the site of the chapel Profitis Ilias in the Raches area close to Christos on July 20th.
