‪@alkyone4398‬ - Shot in Thessaloniki, 2023
00:00 Intro
00:00 Xenitemena mou poulia (an Epirus traditional song)
00:00 Nanourisma (an Asia Minor traditional lullaby)
'I went looking for new Greek music. A few days before my arrival, I received a link from a local friend to a traditional song reinvented in a flamboyant way by a young singer, Alkyone, from northern Greece. I didn’t even get to the end of the song that I was already looking for her contact information. Two weeks later, I was landing in Thessaloniki completely hallucinated after a pilgrimage to Mount Athos. On the bus back to the city, I managed to get in touch with Maria (that's her name) and ask her to meet me that evening to prepare a piece or two. She's a little unsure of herself, but she knows Blogothèque well and finally takes the plunge. We get to a friend’s studio, where Thodoris is waiting for us on cello, and the two of them launch into a gentle, epic performance, building steadily towards a finale of insane intensity. We do two takes, no more, it's in the box, I'm capsized. I'm back on the road, the magic has happened and all that's left is to share it. When the traditions of yesterday become entwined with such a young and sublime voice, unheard-of tomorrows open up once again.' ‪@vincentmoon‬

Before something happened and made me stop singing, I was used to sing alone, often when nobody could listen, for example while driving my car. I didn't really control those moments, and the words were like children do, in a completely made-up language. The melody were so similar to the second song. I know it's silly and weird. But after singing I felt a great peace inside myself, the song was reverberating in the silence and inside me. For I am a very skeptical and "down to earth" person, I am feeling awkward to say that I believe that, in those moments, I was "channeling" something, perhaps from the past or who knows from where. Thank you, @alkyone4398 and to @vincentmoon for bringing this magic here for everyone.

My son was the same. Later he went to music school, since then his inner music has stopped, he only sings what he learns in school. I hope one day he’ll return to his own beautiful melodies.

That's beautiful. And I know what you mean. I think it's in all of us, and I don't mean in any supernatural way. Folk songs and other traditional cultural expressions can be _so_ similar even though they are from completely different parts of the world. They seem to be more human than cultural. I think our ancestors have been singing and humming these melodies for hundreds of thousands of years, maybe even before we had language. It has become part of us somehow. There is something special about it that touches us in a way that no other artform can. It goes straight to the heart. Especially when you sing with your own voice.

My Greek is rudimentary but the chorus of the second song is something like: Come good mother love me Rock* good mother the child *I think like the verb in rocking a cradle rather than a stone/boulder

Actually I did some digging and found the following lyrics: As many as the stars in the sky are, my pearly shining one by one, shining one by one so many are the times, that my eyes, oh my pearly shed tears for you, shed tears for you. Come on, my dear mother, love me too lully the baby in the cradle, my dear mother, for me I'm sighing, don't you hear me, my pearly I'm crying, don't you pity me, don't you pity me Come on, my dear mother, love me too lully the baby in the cradle, my dear mother, for me No mother gave birth to you, my pearly, neither you are afraid of God, neither you are afraid of God. Come on, my dear mother, love me too lully the baby in the cradle, my dear mother, for me. Come on, my dear mother, love me too lully the baby in the cradle, my dear mother, for me

the first song is a traditional song from the Epirus region , about a mother who sings to her son who left to be a migrant. This subject is very common in the area of Epirus because many left for west europe and usa between and after the two WW. Η ξενιτιά σας χαίρεται , // Foreign lands have the privilege of seeing you τα νιάτα τα γραμμένα // and they enjoy your condemned by fate youth μωρέ ξένε μου, //oh, my poor foreigner τα νιάτα τα γραμμένα . // and they enjoy your condemned by fate youth Τι να σου στείλω ξένε μου , // What shall I send you, my foreigner ν' αυτού στα ξένα που 'σαι // there, in the foreign land you are now living μωρέ ξένε μου , // oh, my poor foreigner ν' αυτού στα ξένα που 'σαι . // there, in the foreign land you are now living. Σου στέλνω μήλο, σέπεται, //I'm sending you an apple, but it gets rotten κυδώνι μαραγκιάζει, // (I'm sending you) a quince, but it decays μωρέ ξένε μου , // oh, my poor foreigner κυδώνι μαραγκιάζει . // a quince, but it decays Σου στέλνω γιε μ' το δάκρυ μου , // I'm sending you my tear σ' ένα χρυσό μαντήλι // in a golden handkerchief μωρέ ξένε μου , // oh, my poor foreigner σ' ένα χρυσό μαντήλι . // in a golden handkerchief Το δάκρυ μου είναι καυτό // my tear is hot και καίει το μαντήλι , // and the handkerchief gets burnt μωρέ ξένε μου , // oh, my poor foreigner και καίει το μαντήλι . // and the handkerchief gets burnt Ξενιτεμένα μου πουλιά // My (beloved) emigrated birds και παραπονεμένα // complaining ones translation by "Κακομάζαλη" at lyricstranslate
