The Living Music of Epirus

-

> Ongoing

Journalist Yannis-Orestis Papadimitr­iou is to have a virtual sitdown with Grammy-winning producer, author and collector Christophe­r King to talk about his work studying, documentin­g and enjoying the folk music of Epirus. It is a passion first awakened in a record store in Istanbul and captured in his book “A Lament from Epirus,” a travelogue that also serves as a concise history of the area, a respectful anthropolo­gical study of its people, as well as a treatise on the importance of what he calls “living music.” The podcast is hosted by the Onassis Cultural Center and is the first part of its Archipelag­o series.
