Translated title:
Traditional celebrations and modern festivities in Paros: An ethnographic approach
Summary:
The present work is part of the indigenous anthropology and is an attempt of ethnographic musical research, the field of which is the island of Paros. The object of the research concerns traditional island music as it is expressed through Parian collective and participatory feasts at public and private level. The research focuses on the Parian musical traditions of the 20th century as well as the contemporary musical practices of Paros during the last twenty years, up to the pandemic era of today. The individual issues revolve around the physiognomy and activity of local and guest musicians, the musical instruments of the old and new generations, the evolution and influence of the repertoire, the practices and traditions of local festivals of the cycle of religious holidays, private participatory feasts as well as the customs and songs of marriage. The focus of research interest is on the local musicians of the new generation and their musical activity at local festivals and fairs. Through the observation of contemporary musical traditions, a systematic and comparative study of early and contemporary musical traditions in the 20th and 21st centuries is carried out. This comparison revolves around the issues of the evolution, survival and revival of customs, practices and local songs, issues concerning the decline and transformation of the festive and music and dance practices of Paros, as well as the reasons for their non-survival over the years.
