POLYPHONIC CARAVAN'S VASILOPITA FOR 2021
 
"From Apiros to the World"
 
 
 
 
 
Since years now, during the first days of the year, we celebrate by cutting the vasilopita (New Year's pie) of the Polyphonic Caravan. In 2020, we cut it during the Winter Polyphonic Caravan along with beloved friends in Polytsani village. In 2019, in a beloved place, Oikonomou tavern at Petralona, in 2018 during a thematic event for the Polyphony Workshop at the Center of Greek Music Foivos Anogiannakis.
 
Such "traditions" cannot be suspended and we honor them, having adapted them to the framework of our times. The Polyphonic Caravan cut its vasilopita for 2021! At a place connected to our songs, the hill of the Nymphs. Highly consciously, with restricted presences. With the five most devoted co-travelers since many years now. Those five, count more than twenty Caravans each during the 2010 decade!
 
Among the words written on the pie, the most recent international recognition of the Polyphonic Caravan, its inscription on UNESCO's Register of Good Safeguarding Practices. Maybe the letters of the word "UNESCO" became a little bigger than expected but the essence is found in the last line - "from APIROS to the WORLD".
 
Until next year, when we will meet all together in person in beloved places! Always with the Polyphonic Caravan!
