Solomos, I Galini (Poem and Song), Dimitris Lagios; Tragoudistades

I enjoyed hearing a performance of this song at a wonderful concert by the Tragoudistades of Zakynthos in Corfu on May 2nd- together with many other settings of Solomos' poems; accompanied by mandolins, mandola, flute, guitar and piano. Harmonious island polyphony!
