The village’s name, and its Slav-Macedonian speaking community, fell victim to the policy of the Greek state to forcibly “Hellenize” the land and its people. At the end of the Greek Civil War (1946-49) most of the women in the village were left alone for the rest of their lives; their husbands either killed or exiled. Since 1986 the village has been uninhabited as a result of long-lasting social marginalization.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eTen compositions, alternating with location recordings of the surviving elderly residents of the village (sometimes singing, at times narrating their stories) salvaging and transforming a treasure trove, an elegy, of a vanishing poetry.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eTracks: Narrative \/ Penelopes Of Xanthogeia \/ Oblivion \/ Mirka \/ Natsko \/ Requiem \/ Ajde Sl’intse Zajdi \/ Apatris \/ Kaimaktsalan \/ Implacable Grief \/ Song Of The Unquietness \/ As A Story\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"NERED MUSIC","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":39367638352028,"sku":"NERED1","price":14.53,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0130\/8714\/6043\/products\/DineDoneff-Rousilvo.jpg?v=1615194911","url":"https:\/\/www.horizonsmusic.co.uk\/products\/dine-doneff-rousilvo","provider":"Horizons Music","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
