Contents

One of Domna Samiou’s most characteristic LPs through which younger generations familiarized themselves with traditional folk music. It combines an aesthetically meticulous edition with accurate interpretations and perfect recordings. The song 'Farewell Holy One' has been sung and danced so many times all around Greece and abroad that has been ascribed as Domna’s ‘trademark’ and, in a way, it introduces the concept of the ‘original interpretation’ as for a traditional folk song.


In 2008 the LP was included in a box-CD by MINOS EMI under the title Mia zoi tragoudi, along with the LPs Souravli, By the flowering oleander and A stroll with Domna Samiou.
