Product Description
Tria paidia voliotika - three young men from Volos have taken our sweet Annoula away up into the high mountains. This song refers to the nomadic race of the Sarakatsani - who are Greek in tradition but have spread across much of Eastern Europe - some say they are the oldest identifiable race in the area.
This is the simple version, with guitar chord names for convenience - a set of Variations is also available
