Activity Description

Connect LIVE with Eleni from Athens and travel together to Ancient Greece, when the Greek Gods had a conflict about the music and their beloved instruments. Who was finally the winner? What happened to the ancient deities through the ages?

Meet your host online and discuss about the Ancient Greek Gods of Music, the argument between them, the role of the mythical creatures, the traditional feasts and their connection with antiquity and mythology, the social background of the local communities.

You will talk about the urban traditional music (rebetiko) and the traditional music around Greece. Greek traditional music isn't just the Zorba!

Did you know that there are more than 1000 traditional dances in Greece?

Did you know that there are hundreds of different steps in the Greek Traditional dances?

Did you know that there is a huge difference in tunes even in places that are located close to each other?

What is common in traditional music and dances of the Balkans and Middle East?

You will learn the above and much more and will listen to traditional music from different corners of Greece. Your host will connect from her own home in the center of Athens, and later you will "join" her outdoors; using together sound and camera you will spend time together!

She will also show you her traditional bagpipe, a traditional musical instrument that people in Greece have been making in the same way for thousands of years. Most importantly, she will play some tunes for you!
