Folklife Genre: Greek

- Description
- The music of Greece and the southern Mediterranean region began arriving in Florida in the 19th century along with Greek sponge divers. Traditional Greek rebetika music experienced a revival in the 1960s, and is still played in some Greek communities. Florida’s largest Greek communities are located on the Gulf coast, especially around Tarpon Springs. Instrumentation for this genre typically consists of lute, tambourines, lyres, clarinets, violins, and traditional Greek bagpipes. The tsambouna, gaida, and Dankiyo are common varieties of Greek bagpipes. Nikitas Tsimouris, George Pilatos, Kostas Maris, and Spiros Skordilis are Floridian performers of Greek music in our collection.

Folklife People: Nikitas Tsimouris
- Date
- Description
- Nikitas Tsimouris brought the unique music of the tsabouna, a type of Greek bagpipe, to Tarpon Springs. He was born in the village of Chora on the Dodecanese island of Kalymnos, one of eight children of a sponge fisherman and citrus sharecropper. Tsimouris’ father played the tsabouna and the family had a reputation for dance and music. At about age eight, Tsimouris learned to play the tsabouna from his father while they watched their sheep. The tsabouna is one of two types of bagpipes in Greece. The gaida, played in mainland Greece, has a single chanter. The tsabouna played in the islands has an untanned goatskin bag turned inside out, a blowpipe, and two parallel chanters, each with five finger holes, fitted into a single tube with wax. In 1991, Tsimouris became the first Floridian to receive a National Heritage Fellowship. He received the Florida Folk Heritage Award in 1989.
