\"\"<\/p>\n

Stella Papalamprou is a Greek singer, composer and lyricist focused on traditional pieces and instruments from her homeland, Grevena, where Epirote traditions, Macedonian elements, Vlach\/Aromanian influences and the pastoral repertoires of the Pindus mountains converge. At the same time, her music also incorporates instruments and sonic elements connected to Pontic culture, reflecting the historical presence of Pontic communities in Greek Macedonia. Stella will be releasing the pieces from this album over the coming months.<\/p>\n

For now, I wanted to share this piece with you,\u00a0Protanixin<\/em>, sung by Stella\u00a0in the Pontic dialect of Greek, accompanied by the tulum (Pontic bagpipe) of Giorgos Vergos \u2014 who also plays Pontic lyra, saz, traditional flute and bulgari \u2014 with the davul of Nikos Fillipides.<\/p>\n

Together, they bring to the stage the living musical heritage of their region and are open to conversations regarding performances, dates and collaboration conditions.<\/p>\n

Please feel free to contact me for further information and booking enquiries.<\/strong><\/p>\n

Lyrics in English<\/strong><\/p>\n

It was early springtime, my bird (my love),<\/p>\n

when I came to you;<\/p>\n

and how beautiful it was,<\/p>\n

the way God sent snowy rain outside.<\/p>\n

My heart is weak,<\/p>\n

and your love conquers it;<\/p>\n

poison me from afar,<\/p>\n

so no one else will realize.<\/p>\n

This love of yours<\/p>\n

is like fire in the reeds;<\/p>\n

it surrounded my little heart<\/p>\n

and wrapped itself around my neck.<\/p>\n

The moment you falter,<\/p>\n

lost in a daze and look at me with a smile so bright,<\/p>\n

you gather all the world’s hidden grace<\/p>\n

and gift it to me, a harvest of light.<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/tbody>\n<\/table>\n
