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.

From the very first decades of the 20th century and the emergence of discography, Leros along with the Hadjidakis family makes its presence felt in discography and largely shapes the promising Aegean musical timbre and dance repertoire. "Bracera" and "Brouzos" were identified not only with Leros, but thanks to the introductions and musical virtuosity of Stamatis Hadjidakis, they became the ""national anthem"" of the Aegean, in conjunction with the historical timing of the incorporation of the Dodecanese into Greece.

Other seasoned musicians who were members of a wider musical family were also offered a boost, acting to meet the needs of the local community.
Today, more than seven musical families are active in Leros but also in the rest of Greece and among Greeks abroad.

"Artemis", a cultural association of Leros, organizes and preserves a multifaceted framework, accommodating the active participation of all young people on the island.

Leros still delights researchers.
