People on Samos

One of these rare occasions, when magic is in the air. Late at night we came to a place called "Karafaki" in the port of Pythagorio on the island of Samos, where I met my friend Jiannis Loulourgas, luthier and singer/bouzouki player. We convinced him to play some songs for us despite the fact that he already had played all evening in a restaurant. So he opened his bouzouki case again, took out his bouzouki and sang and played a couple of songs for us. I was glad to have my "audio field recorder" with me. Here is one of the songs he sang in that night: "S'agapo yiati eisai oraia". A beautiful traditional song originating from Asia Minor. Listen and sit with us - at least acoustically - at our table in that night of September 27th, 2008l In the background you can even hear the music of a tavern nearby. The photos of Jiannis depicted in this presentation were taken in the summer of 2008 at a different site in Pythagorio called "Notos".
