soniaThe Amalgamation Choir “Live At The Library”. The singers are spot on with rhythm and harmony, and the director Vasiliki Anastasiou is fun to watch. Filmed live in Cyprus Library. All four videos are worth watching, but if you're short on time, my favorite is the third one Tis Trihas to Gefyri. Also there's a 27 minute Roadtrip video with singing and interviews.
Hymn to the Sun - by Mesomedes of Crete. An ancient Greek hymn, with English translation. Singing starts around :45.
I sent my singing teacher the Amalgamation choir link a couple of months ago and said that I want to be able to do what these women are doing, and now I'm in a choir! Interesting how these things work sometimes. Her teaching and support definitely contributed to making it possible.
By the way, Juliana Graffagna does Skype/Zoom lessons for Balkan and Georgian singing and other kinds of singing, and I recommend her highly. She's knowledgeable, kind, a skilled teacher, and a fantastic singer.

Goddess.
The Tis Trehas to Gefyri Is stunning! Shivers up my spine and down my arms.
