"Hrissaido" by Marika Papagika
Song: Χρυσαΐδω
Artist: Μαρίκα Παπαγκίκα
Also try: "а я по лугу" and "Kuk kuger"
Commentary: A prolific Greek Singer of the early 20th century, Marika Papagika has a captivating voice. I discovered her through Jeff Mangum's curation of Yeti 5. So I guess I also can credit to him the opening of "world" folk music traditions for me as well. What a rich and rewarding terrestrial oeuvre has arisen from the revitalization of musics from old 78s, as conveyed by the Internet. Especially after listening to Marika Papagika's funereal, yet angelic, voice, one mourns the Westernizing influences borne on the wings of colonialism.
Also, Tsamiko (Greek: Τσάμικος, Tsamikos) is a traditional Greek folk tune (and accompanying dance), while Χρυσαΐδω is apparently a name.
