Song for Liberated Ioannina, Greece; ΤΑ ΠΗΡΑΜΕ ΤΑ ΓΙΑΝΝΕΝΑ



It is easy to forget how recently Ioannina was liberated.

February 21st, 1913 - the Liberation of Ioannina.


Three YouTube song videos:


ΤΑ ΠΗΡΑΜΕ ΤΑ ΓΙΑΝΝΕΝΑ ~ Δημήτρης Βάγιας



ΤΑ ΠΗΡΑΜΕ ΤΑ ΓΙΑΝΝΕΝΑ ~ 21 ΦΕΒΡΟΥΑΡΙΟΥ 1913


The Chronicle of Liberation


From the poem Ο ΕΥΖΩΝΑΣ, Α. Μαυρουκάκη

Μὰ ὁ πόνος μεγαλύτερος σπαράζει τὴν ψυχή μου
που θα πεθάνω πρὶν νὰ ἰδω τὰ Γιάννενα πεσμένα…


My first visit to Ioannina, Easter 1968: 
spot my head between two cannonballs!
