Weekly entertainment show.

The show presents older and younger musicians involved in the traditional music of Greece, the Balkans, and the Mediterranean on an artistic and research level. Contemporary, established, and emerging musicians are featured, whose work is deeply influenced by traditional music.

The goal of the show is to highlight the work of musicians who, over the past 20 years, have given a different, new dimension to the musical tradition. Their approach, knowledge, and education differ significantly from earlier generations of musicians.

This episode of the documentary series "Contemporary Traditional Musicians" is dedicated to the Pontian ensemble Pontoporoi.

In 1998, drummer Alexandros Papadopoulos, a musician educated in Austria and originally from Kastanousa, Serres, met Yiannis Palapouikidis, a virtuoso of the Pontian clarinet. Together, they formed a musical group aiming to highlight lesser-known aspects of Pontian musical tradition beyond the familiar repertoire.

The name Pontoporoi reflects a playful combination of exploration and their connection to Pontos (the historical region).
