Common Greek & Albanian Folk Songs 🇬🇷 🇦🇱

🇬🇷 🇦🇱 These two neighbors have been together for thousands of years. This brings a natural common taste in music, singing, dancing and fashion. The region of Epirus hosts so many beautiful songs and dances. Many of them are shared, loved and performed by both Greeks and Albanians. Each side does not know how many similarities there are and unfortunately most of the times these similarities bring nationalistic reactions with questions like "who did it first" and many more. It really does not matter. In our times, we ought to embrace our similarities and support the strong ties and brotherhood #greece and #albania have.

@@codexillyria4132 sure. Maybe you don't know but the 'albanian language' bacame the official language in 'albania' 100 years age Guess what !!!! Alipashiad From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia The Alipashiad or Alipashias (Greek: Αληπασιάδα or Αληπασιάς) is an early 19th century epic poem written in Greek by the Muslim Albanian Haxhi Shehreti. The work is inspired by and named after Ali Pasha, the Ottoman Albanian ruler of the increasingly independent Pashalik of Yanina, describing, in heroic style, his life and military campaigns. Background "Όλος ο κόσμος γιούρτισε κιόλα τα βιλαέτια Και φέρνουν στον Αλή Πασιά φλωριά με τα σεπέτια Ώρα την ώρα Αλή Πασιάς ακόμη πλειό βαραίνει. Το όνομά του ακούσθηκε στο Ήντε στο Γεμένι, Σεφτά ρηγάτα Φράγγικα ακούσθη το ‘νομά του, Κανένας ως τα σήμερα δεν στάθηκε μπροστά του. Translation: All the world makes festivities, and all the districts: They bring Ali Pasha golden coins in coffers. Hour by hour Ali Pasha weighs more heavy: His name is heard in Hindi and in Yemen. In the Seven Frank Kingdoms his name is heard; And no one on this day had stood before him."[1] The Alipashiad was composed by Haxhi Shehreti, who was a Muslim Albanian and Ali's personal balladeer,[2] and who composed this work in Greek, considering it a more prestigious language in which to praise his master.[3] William Leake says that Shehreti had no Greek education and knew only the colloquial Greek of Albania and its borders. The language of the poem, therefore (according to Leake) represents the local vulgar dialect of the Greek language.[4] Despite the predominance of the Greek language as the language of Orthodox Christian education and culture, sometimes a form of cultural hybridity emerged in a number of 18th and early 19th century Albanian language documents, which were written using the Greek script. This was due to the fact that the Orthodox church, unlike the Catholic one, "was never to be convinced of the utility of writing in the vernacular as a means of converting the masses". Hence Greek script or language was used in various works of Albanian authors, both Christian and Muslim. An example of the latter is the composer of the Alipashiad.[3] The poem provides evidence about a period when Lord Byron, Christopoulos, Ioannis Vilaras, Ioannis Kolettis, Georgios Sakellarios and Athanasios Psalidas were among the scholarly, artistic and cultural elite of Ioannina.[4] Language The poem is written in a modern demotic Greek language and contains some dialectical interference and foreign expressions.[4] The Greek language used was based on the contemporary (vernacular) idioms of Delvine and Ioannina both places where the author lived.[5] Another decisive factor that influenced the language of composition was the scholarly Greek language which was the language used in the court of Ioannina during the time he served Ali Pasha. [6] Content Historically, the Alipashiad contains the unusual feature of being written from the Muslim point of view.[4] Apart from narrating Ali's adventures, the poem describes the complex Pashalik of Yanina, as well as the activities of the local mercenaries (Armatoles) and brigands (Klephts) that Ali had to deal with.[4] In the epic poem, Ali's war against the Souliotes is formalistically presented as a religious conflict, as the author refers to the Orthodox rebels as the Din Diijman "enemies of the faith". However, historical evidence rather indicates that the war was waged by Ali as a personal revenge against Souliotes. Indeed Ali didn't care for the territories of Souli, but he resented ongoing refusal of the Souliotes to submit to his rule. Moreover, Souliotes' religious identity as Christians held no particular relevance for Ali, as from a cultural perspective he ought to have favored them as being of Albanian descent like himself, rather than Greek, Vlach, or Turkish.[7] yeap!!!! The 'albanian nation' spoke GREEK 110 years ago

Bravo Vassilis!! Actually it's NOT who had it first. It's the culture of their region. So, it's theirs: Greek - Albanian. Albanian-Greek. No surprises there. The most interesting are the Albanian-Greek villages that comprise the border of Southern Albania//Northern Epirus [actually the same place] that is the only section of that region that has a polyphonic singing tradition unique only to them. Interestingly, no where else in either country has this type of music. These villages sing the same exact songs in 2 languages using polyphony. Now that is what I call a real shared culture. Cheers from NYC!!!

The big US city I am from is a melting pot and I have met a number of peeps from the Balkans. Only 1 from Albania and it remains obscure to me except that i know Albania is unique and has its own branch on the language tree, like Greek and Armenian. Perhaps a smaller country and population with less emigration. After watching this, i read the total population of Albanians in US is under 300k. Rare find. Time to research the Albanian culture and of course find a restaurant to try the food. Lol Thanks Vasili

[@m.m.7183]

My dad is full Greek from the Peloponnese. I did a dna test and found many distant Albanian cousins. Dna tests never lie when it comes to cousin matching. I see this is common between Greeks and Albanians so there must be old relation and shared history between mainland Greeks and Albanians.

[@lindaS_]

If you check DNA tests that people publish online, from Kosovo all the way down south, Albanians result in the largest percentage Greek/Italian.. Culture, religions and languages can change or be imposed on people but DNA remains

[@m.m.7183]

@@lindaS_ the ethnicity estimation is not always correct. What is Italian/Greek dna exactly? What is Balkan dna exactly? What is West Asian or North African? Greeks can get a mix of all these estimations depending on dna company. But dna cousin matching doesn’t lie.

[@DCCrisisclips]

@@m.m.7183 It's because most Albanians once a upon a time were Greek. In the late 1100's Albanian ruling class moved into North Albania and with the eventual sac of Constantinople and partition of the empire, the Albanian ruling class took advanyage and became Catholic and started Latinisation process of the Greeks, Albanian ruling class managed to reached to Agelokstro near Agrinio but thankfully their latinisation process failed their and hundreds of years later Epirus was rehellenised but as you see most Abanians are Greeks, not all but a large percentage were Albanised by the Albanian Pro Latin ruling class.

The Epirus/Thesprotia region which falls between Albania and Greece is rich and culture and has a unique dialect of language for both countries, music, culture and history. Religion has been used to divide us yet we are all from the same pot as we lived together for thousands of years in peace and contributed to each others rich history. Politics has divided us for centuries now and it’s sad. The church has manipulated people into identity politics.

Very interesting research and presentation 👋 I was aware of only Osman Taka / Οσμαντάκας or Σαμαντάκας. The Albanian dance has the epic story of the famous dancing fighter that accompanies this ballad passed from one generation to the other. Is it the same on the Greeks side or it's just a folk dance?

[@lamprosboussakis9482]

This is a nationalistic and stupid comment. You. sound like a Turk. Albanians in the majority and Greeks in the majority get along fine and share many similarities, they are all the sons of the Pelasgians. If you want to fight with someone, find the real enemies of our peoples, we must not fight each other. Together we are strong. Albania can be a great nation, it should be a great nation, it is a Great nation and a brother nation of Greece, this is the reality.

[@subspeciaeternis]

Γειά σου Vasilis! I congratulate you for your good job. It helps a lot to break the mutual prejudices. Professor Rudolf Brandl (austrian musicologist) has written a book about the music in the court of Ali Pasha of Ioannina (1790-1820) and there you will find the historical source of Greek koumpania and Albania saze. The first musicians were the Jews whereas Greeks and Albanins wrote the texts; the Roma played military music (zurna + davul) outside. After 1830 the Roma took the ensemble of Jews and mixed the repertoire of Ali Pasha with Albanian, Greek and Aromanian folk songs and hence several styles were created: "alipashalitiko", "arvanitiko", "tsamiko", "kleftiko", "delvinaki" in Greece; "labiko" in Albania. These styles provide the common base of epirotic musical repertoire between Greeks, Albanians and Vlahs in northwestern Greece and southern Albania. Keep going! Cheers!!!

[@ianbarbaros2248]

Do you know if there are any mentions of musical instruments in Rudolf Brandls book? I try to find when did the clarinet arrived in Epirus and became instrument of the kompania

[@subspeciaeternis]

@@ianbarbaros2248 Ince saz (= art music) is called the musical ensemble of Ottoman court. It is composed of a pipe, kanun, saz, fiddle (kemane) and daf; there is no exact date when the clarinet entered the Albanian saze and Greek koumpania in Epirus region BUT 101 % sure after 1830. The Italian composer Giuseppe Donizetti opened the conservatory of music in Istambul in 1828 and the Turks and even Sultan started to learn European instruments. These were the beginnings of clarinet in Istambul. Prof. Brandl shows a picture of a Greek wedding in 1709 where you see daf and zurna, later also lyra. Cheers!

[@ianbarbaros2248]

@@subspeciaeternis somewhere after 1830 is the most probable answer but it could have come earlier from the Ionian Islands(Corfu kefallonia Zakynthos). where they had brass bands some decades before that or maybe from the Greek military band which was established in 1824

[@subspeciaeternis]

@@ianbarbaros2248 The musical exchanges between Europeans and Ottomans date at least from 17 century, and that started by adopting the Turkish kettle drum, cymbals and bells tree into European orchestras. But the Ottomans were more conservative that's why the western instruments entered later. Don't forget that during 1820s Greece was in war against Ottomans, and they needed weapons not clarinets to fight for their liberation. Many Western instruments came in the countries occupied by Ottomans via Istambul, although Corfu or Saranda are only 80 miles away from Italy. Despite the existence of Greek military band, the Roma and the Jews were among the first musicians who integrated the clarinet in the traditional ensembles of Epirus.

[@ianbarbaros2248]

@@subspeciaeternis the violin in Istanbul was introduced in 1870 by Kemenceci Vasilaki, a Greek professional musician from Sylivria who was playing in Greek panigiri festivals. The violin by that time had already been played for some centuries by Greeks (Crete, Aegean and Ionian islands, South Greece) perhaps as a continuation of the Byzantine vielle that appears in many Byzantine paintings. The clarinet entered the Greek folk kompania about 50 years before it entered Turkish folk music, Gipsy musicians played a big role popularizing it but not the Jewish as far as I know. The Greek military band was escorting the army immediately after it's formation in 1824 and most of its Greek musicians (among other Bavarian and French) were from the Ionian islands especially from Zakynthos. This band and the Ionian musicians have certainly played a role in the introduction of the clarinet in Greek folk music. I am not aware of any western instrument that entered Greek folk music through Istanbul or even through the Greek musicians of Istanbul. It's actually the opposite and certainly thats the case for the violin. Due to the negativity of Islam towards music, Turkish music was very conservative and underdeveloped and it didn't have the impact that you would expect on the Greek musicians from the beginning of the 19th. century onwards who were increasingly looking towards the newly established capital Athens and Italy for inspiration. Also the Romania- Odesa - Phanariotes -Ioannina connection have played some role in the development of Epirus music, especially with "Romanesque melodies" like Doina but perhaps with popularizing European instruments at some degree

Hi is south and central Albania. If you go to central Albania to the north the music dance and songs change. Also the costume dress changes as well. It is like you are in a different country. In north Albania everything sound Slavic.

[@Dukgjin]

The clothes Change in the North because of the weather in Epirus it is much warmer than in the North of albania. You can Not Wear a Rock in the Cold mountsins of the North. Dont try to spread Propaganda cetnik

And if you go from Janina to Crete traditional costumes and songs are quite different. So what’s your point?

​@@pres1dent1la stragrande parte del sound balcanico in generale è di provenienza orientale come gli strumenti con le dovute sfumature per ciascun paese. Volendo essere precisi ,il sound albanese e alcune forme di canto senza strumenti del NordAlbania sono così antiche e ancestrali che precedono l'arrivo dei slavi . Se mi dici Montenegro,Bosnia, Croazia,Romania e Bulgaria ,certo che questi paesi hanno molte cose in comune con gli slavi e non solo il sound.
