Το Κλέφτικο Τραγούδι Μέρος Β´

The Greek Nation and the Revolution inside the Klephtiko Song (Part 2) (Program in Greek)

The Klephtiko songs and the epic poetry that they express are an untapped source of information about the lives and the culture of the Greek people under Ottoman rule. They vividly portray gallantry, bravery, compassion, humanity, loss, lament, and the underlying virtues that cemented the Greek peoples' uncompromising decision to sacrifice everything, including their lives for liberty.

The program was originally composed in 1981 by three distinguished and internationally-renowned and respected Greek Orthodox clergy in Montreal, Quebec, Canada: The Rev. Konstantinos Halvatzakis (of late blessed memory) composed and wrote the historical/cultural presentation The Rev. Protopresbyter Panagiotis Sallatelis presented the historical/cultural composition The Rev. Protopresbyter Georgios Saitanis of late blessed memory brought the words to life with an unparalled musical passion and virtuosity
