Gerakina

Description

“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.
