Kouloumis, Michalis & Petros Kouloumis
The Music Of Cyprus 1. Dance
At a time when traditional dances (and folk culture more broadly) are threatened by folkloristic flattening, when a shared cultural good is turned into a consumer product, initiatives such as this heartfelt "offering" by the Kouloumis brothers are especially welcome. With knowledge and respect, they serve the dance as a living ritual, not merely as a staged re-enactment.
