soniaBack in 2019, I posted links to the fabulous Amalgamation Choir from Crete, led by Vasiliki Anastasiou. In particular, I loved Tis Trihas to Gefyri from Pontos in 9/8. (lyrics)
Recently I went to a concert by Phoebe Vlassis, who weaves at a loom and sings at the same time. At the end of the concert she raffles off the weaving she made during the concert. She opened with Tis Trihas to Gefyri, which I recognized immediately. I asked her about it after the concert, and she said it was the first song she tried singing while weaving.
So I looked around for Amalgamation Choir, and it turns out they're still around! Here's a 20 min concert, posted in 2020.
