Music Through Us - Beqir Meta - A fairytale place, Çamëria

Music Through Us is a virtual moment dedicated to cultures, traditions and sharing.

This reportage is a narrative based on facts and historical documentation mixed with family records and archives.

It is a way to show where I come from, but most of all, it is a way to make known the history of Çamëria (Chameria/Tsameria), a region as old as the world, which has the first temple of God (Dodona) existing 1500 years even before the temple in Jerusalem.
This is a tribute to the values, education, culture and traditions of my family and a tribute to my grandparents, survivors of the Greek genocide of 1944.

I did not make this video to sow hatred. It is a way to invite people to know the truth about this region and the rights of this population, which has been waiting for decades now to simply have their suffering recognized.

❓This is the last episode dedicated to the culture, tradition and history of Albanians, before embarking on a journey around the world to discover other music, traditions, rites, cultures and stories.

❗️❗️Professor Beqir Meta, historian, Head of Albanological Studies Academy, member of Sciences Academy of Albania, former Director of Albania National Museum will be the personality who will introduce and develop the history of Chameria and it culture.

ÎSA VEGERIYE, AMADE BIKIN! «Min milyaketekî din dît ku di nîvê ezmên de difire û Mizgîniya wî ya herheyî hebû, da ku ji wan ên ku li ser rûyê erdê rûdine, û ji her miletî, ji her miletî, û bi ziman û hem jî mirovan re bide bihîstin û bi dengekî bilind got: «Ji Xwedê bitirsin. û rûmetê bidin wî, çimkî saeta dîwankirina wî hat. û biperizin wî yê ku ezman, erd û derya û kaniyên avê çêkiriye.» Peyxama Yûhenna 14:6-7

"Lê vê yekê bizanibin: di rojên dawîn de, demên dijwar wê werin, Çimkî mirov wê bibin hezkiriyên xwe, çavnebar, pesnê xwe, pozbilind, çêrker, guh nede dê û bavên xwe, nankor, nepîroz, bêhez, efûkar, buxtankar, bêxwedî, zalim, xêrxwazan, xayin, serêş, dilbirîn, ji hezkirên Xwedê bêtir ji kêfê hez dikin, şeklê xwedawendiyê heye, lê hêza wê înkar dike. Ji van jî birevin." 2 Tîmotêyo 3:1-5
