The family, the entire body of Greek traditional expression, comes as a continuation of the history, to prove that tradition is experiential and music is a living cell that is reborn through listening and rhythm. Families of traditional musicians, musical families. Fortunately, there are still several! We enter the small, enclosed universe of a musical family, in its natural space, the neighborhood, at the café, and other haunts where its music and dancing activities take place. The family, the music, the contacts, the influences, the transactions, the confessions, and the narratives about the family’s life and action, not only by family members but also by third parties. And finally a small tribute to the beneficial effect on cohesion and psychology, through the ritual of musical get-togethers.
Today:
«Kompania Verdi»
Episode 3
Every transition in Tradition, in its whole Body, comes through successions and transitions that pass, effortlessly, almost imperceptibly, through internal processes and practices that vary from place to place.
The Verdis family-folk band, originating from Vouliarati in the Dropoli region, managed to historically-politically pass these crossings, these identity passages and to chart a short (just three generations) course from tradition to modernity. Thus, today, parents and children, relying on their experiences, go a step further and chart their own course in the field of traditional music, with acceptance by the general public.
