Takoutsia with Filippos Rountas - 1961-1975-Zagori-Epirus-Simon Karas archive



















I got this ,along with many other interesting musics from Epirus ,very recently from a friend himself from Zagori the cultural heart of the area, who is  into releasing  old material from family recordings (as he explained to me, the family that  was inviting and paying the musicians for the celebrations , in many cases  was also recording during them and kept the tapes) through his newborn  homemade label.
Details in the future.
(and of course he was showered with wishes and African goodies)
Sooo Takoutsia with Filippos Rountas  from Simon Karas archive is accompanied with the best of recommendations.
If you are familiar with Takousia from the good  Inedit recording  you will easily understand that this is the real thing.
here is a nice place to share it.
