Greek Folk
Song.
Gerakina
(yeh-rah-kee-nah) is one
of the most popular folk
songs in Greece and the
inspiration for an annual
festival of the same
name. Developing singers
will enjoy the dance-like
lilt and the fun
drun-a-drun lyric,
representing the sound of
the title character's
jingling bracelets. Greg
Gilpin's percussion
suggestions both anchor
and enhance the bright
7/8 meter, and an
included pronunciation
guide aids with the Greek
text.
