Samiou, Domna - Carnival Songs

The most famous publication of the Domna Samiou Greek Folk Music Association. These Carnival songs with their ritual bawdiness ? ?sacred in the profane? ? disturbed the prudish devotees of tradition. The recordings come with a detailed booklet analysing the pagan and ritualistic context in which these songs are performed; essentially connected to a specific season of the cosmic year, they are believed to have a sacred efficiency according to rural society?s popular perceptions.
