PATRIOTIC MUSIC

Article by Giorgos Kokkonis, musicologist, Associate Professor at the Department of Music Studies of the University of Ioannina

Modern, engaged, folk-like, sometimes even urban folk-like compositions. The melodies imitate patterns of dimotiko (folk) or urban folk songs, and the lyrics have a propagandist character in favor of the homeland or the nation, often with references to historical figures whose actions have a heroic character. This category also includes songs in favor of political parties or politicians whose ideologies invoke their homeland.
