Greek music near Kapnikarea on Ermou St.by iblatt
It was Sunday afternoon, and I was walking down Ermou Street. As I approached the small Byzantine church of Kapnikarea with its little plaza cutting the street in half, I heard the sound of rhythmical, lively Greek music. A few elderly amateur musiciams were sittingon the curb playing their instruments, and a few people were dancing to the music, with a small crowd gathered around them, cheering and applauding.
I loved the spontaneous, carefree atmosphere, and the repetitive character of the music was enchanting.
Here are my short video-clips:
