Musical Traditions of Crete
The music of Crete has a long, rich history that continues to develop and grow today. We’re going to explore the diversity of Cretan music, aided by music-lovers and musicians in Canada and on the island of Crete, and we'll try to answer a couple of questions: Is music really as important as it seems to Cretans? Why has it continued to to thrive when some other regional musics have been frozen as folkloric tradition?
Mark Hamilton is well known at Pharos as the man behind the guitar in several previous musical evenings. He is a former journalist and university instructor of journalism and a (very) amateur musician, with a particular love for much of the music of Greece, especially Cretan music and early rebetiko. He has taken an online class in Cretan singing with Evgenia Toli-Damavoliti and is studying Cretan laouto with Giorgos Xylouris. The photo shows Mark getting the vibe in the Nikos Xylouris Museum in Anogeia, Crete.
