What exactly is ‘Cypriot traditional music’? What are its basic music and poetic characteristics? How do the fifteen-syllable verse, rhyming couplets and tsiattista work? What are fones? When was Cypriot music first recorded and by whom? Why aren’t there more women involved in traditional music-making? How could we define the aesthetics of Cypriot traditional music and song?
The workshop is open to musicians, singers, poets, students, researchers, as well as educators who have an interest in traditional music or poetry, folklore or ethnography. No prior knowledge of the subject is necessary, neither is the ability to read music.
