On Sunday, May 25th, 2008, I and members of my family attended the wedding of Mihali Stamoulou and Triantafilyia Tsante at Monokambi, on the Greek island of Ikaria. This video attempts to document that wedding and the reception that followed. The music you can hear throughout the video is the Ikaryiotiko, the traditional dance of Ikaria. Here it is being played on violin by Yianni (John) Rousos. He is accompanied on tambourine and guitar by two other musicians whose name I did not note. This is an edited version of the dance, which I recorded live during the wedding. The original tune (and dance) went for almost 15 minutes. Several other Greek dances are shown during the film. Of course these dances have their own tunes, but for the purposes of this film, I have used the same tune throughout.

On Saturday, June 14, 2008, a Festival of Greek Dance was held in the village of Rahes, and this film is one of several showing a dance group from Katerini (on mainland Greece), performing at the festival. The festival took place on the village baskball court, under lights that attracted hundreds of moths and other airborne insects which fell constantly onto the heads of the audience below. This probably explains why only half the lights were turned on during the performances. Unfortunately, this also made it extremely difficult to get good, well lit footage of the dances.
Audience chatter and the constant movement of children and adults across the 'stage' seems to be part and parcel of any event of this type, given the location, and the hot summer night. In the end, it all goes towards creating yet another unforgettable and unique Greek island experience.
Musical accompaniment is provided throughout the dance by the singing of the dancers, a percussionist and a man playing a 'tsampouna', a traditional instrument with obvious links to the Scottish bagpipe and the gaida. The body, or bag of the tsampouna is made out of sheep skin.

In the opening dialogue, the shepard kneeling on the ground is approached by a friend asking the way to a paniyiri, a festival celebrating Greek saints of the Orthodox Church. The shepard gives his friend complicated and elaborate directions to the festival which elicits laughs from the audience. Their dialogue finishes with both men arranging to meet later at the festival where much dancing and merriment is sure to take place.
