BAGPIPES OF GREECE
VARIOUS ARTISTS TSCD930

Recordings and notes by Wolf Dietrich

An exciting collection of authentic Greek bagpipes recorded across the entire country over the last thirty years or more. Many of the musicians are shepherds and peasants and have been recorded in their homes or local environments.

Currently, Greece appears to have no bagpipe revival (perhaps due to the lack of bagpipe makers) so these recordings chronicle a rare traditional culture.

• "A labour of love and a work of true scholarship. Highly recommended." fRoots magazine
