On Thursday, May 23, 2024, at 15:00 Athens time (and again at 23:00) the show “The Elves of Tradition” on Voice of Greece makes a tribute to the folk songs of Western Thessaly.
Young musicians perform songs and tunes from the western lowland of Thessaly in ERT’s studio B, highlighting the unique character of the music of this area. They are joined in the studio by social anthropologist Ioannis Kais, who has significantly contributed to the research and coordination for the day.
