Αλεξανδριανή Φελλάχα (Alexandriani Fellaha)

The piece is called Alexandriani Fellaha which was firstly sung by Roza Eskenazi. The word "Fellah" comes from the Arabic language and it means "peasant, farmer, workman". The song refers to the Ottoman Egypt in the city of Alexandria, and it expresses the eros of the "unknown" composer to an Egyptian woman farmer or peasant. The colour/aroma of this song is totally Arabic and you can understand it from the unique melodic development of the song.
