Perperouna

Contents
Domna’s first work for children came as a fulfilment of her constant aspiration to bring traditional folk songs closer to children –especially those living in the cities. Some of these sixteen traditional songs, with their ‘easy’ melodies, uplifting rhythms and amusing lyrics, were anyway sung by children –like 'Perperouna', 'Chelidonisma', and the 'Carols'. This LP is a milestone as for its content and for its aim.
