English text

A dance from Southern Epirus. It takes its name from the town of Metsovo. Note the more cheerful character and the more playful rhythm of this Berati in comparison to the earlier one from Northern Epirus. The influences of the folk-music of Southern Greece are obvious.

Translated by Derek Yeld

French text

Danse de l'Epire du Sud. Elle tire son nom de la ville de Metsovo. A remarquer le caractère plus gai et le rythme plus enjoué de ce Bérati par rapport à celui de la première plage (Epire du nord). Les influences de la musique traditionnelle de la Grèce du sud sont évidentes.

Aris Fakinos (1984)
