I'm proud to be Albanian .Europe should be Proud .with us Albanians After the arrival of the Illyrians.

Illyrian culture is believed to have evolved from the Stone Age and to have manifested itself in the territory of Albania toward the beginning of the Bronze Age, about 2000 bce). The Illyrians were not a uniform body of people but a conglomeration of many tribes that inhabited the western part of the Balkans, from what is now Slovenia in the northwest to (and including) the region of Epirus, which extends about halfway down the mainland of modern Greece. In general, Illyrians in the highlands of Albania were more isolated than those in the lowlands, and their culture evolved more slowly-a distinction that persisted throughout Albania’s history.
Well said
Probably more Pelasgian than Illyrian... Illyrians were located north of Epirus. Epirus is the land between Greece (Achaeans) and Illyrians... just like the Macedonians in the north; both Epirus and Macedonia are considered part of the Hellenic antiquity world. Epirus probably was the territory that divided and at the same time joined ancient Greeks with Illyrians in the north-west. Polyphony is more preserved among Albanians compared to Greeks in the same region, but tradition is fading away in Albania as it did in Greece.

I find it interesting that the rrot word of Albanians * Albanoi in ancient languages( comes from "alba" an ancient word for "white color", and some say that in turn it comes from "alb(t) -"alt", revering to mountain peak...White color ( "barh" in Albanian language) is obviously present in Albanian culture not just in theri traditional costumes, but also in their traditional vocabulary, e.g. "ardhshi të bardh" "faqëbardh", "Bardh qofsh" etc. and personal names " Bardh" "Bardha", "Bardhok" , "Bardhyl" etc etc.....I really wish someone provides some detailed history on the origin of Albanian trraditional costume, because I have seen something similar among other cultures (Bulgarians, Romanians, even POlish-the pandts etc, except that all these nations only have on epart of the whole garment whereas Albanian usually wear the whole costume(....
Could I ask you what similarities you see between Albanian and Polish costumes?

@shaby83 How come people always talk about greeks in albanian posted music? Does it belong to the songs? is there a greek in the lyrics of the song each time
0:57 Please could anyone give me the name of that piece.
I need to know it too!

@domosdo se di vlla... sa kengetare si ato ka shqiperi... nuk i dihet se ku i kane xhiruar.. diku andej nga korca.
long live atnik illirians albanains
@shaby83 LOL you are a little confused.All kinds of music in epirus independent from the nationality are indigenous.
This is Albanian polyphonic song .
are you insane? just because we use ancient greek words for melody and rhythm then by that we can infer that all known music is greek? Epir was co-inhabited by albanian and greek predeccesors so it is not fair to assign it one particular group but polyphonic music is blatantly albanian and more specifically Lab(chaonian), its not smth that is up for debate, it simply does not exist in contemporary greek culture, which to be fair is heavily laden with albanian elements through arvanite influence.
Tosk sound like they're at funeral crying
is obvious that epirus is albania!!!!!!!
You obviously seem to be confused
@@randomhorrorgames8033 you obviously seem to not have opened a history book in your life.
if you listen this musik and dancing thiw dance wich are loveling and greek ipirotian dance then you never never must say that albanian are turks or turkish fried because you are like your greek brothers...
if Epirus is Greece than tell me one thing - Why have ancient Greeks called " Epirus " as the land of Barbarians ????????
HOW MANY PEOPLE SPEAK ALBANIAN IN BALKANI??????
More than 8 Million my friend😃
Around 15 000 000 people
Themistokli Germenji no more than 22 Million.😀
greece 4million wtf? maybe 100.000 not more
***** yes ots maybe 800.000 real albanians in greece (without arvanites)
Polyphonic singing is known also
among Greeks (Greek-speaking) from Pogoni and Northern Epirus (South Albania).
It also exist in traditions of Arvanitovlachs (Remeni)
So I think polyphony singing from Epirus isn't exclusively Albanian or Greek, this is regional tradition practiced by people originating from this region, regardless of ethnicity / nationality.
Who invented this? I think it is not important. Albanians will say it dates back to ancient Illyrians, Greeks will say it dates back to ancient Greece. Both of these statements have no meaning for me. If there are no clear proofs of continuity of this specific traditions in this region from ancient times, we can only guess.
I don't understand war in this comments. Do you come here to listen to beautiful music, or to argue and offend mutually?
This is not from epirus this is from labëria
EPIRIOT jemi ne o 🇦🇱🦅.

hahahaha... :)
falimners!
sorry my friend but our language has more or less than 10.000 turkish words while your language ( Greek ) has more or less than 14.000 turkish words ;)
just some Info about turkish influence on our languages ;) if you dont trust me check google .
This sounds so kuch like caucasus folk music
Ha ha ha . This is Pellasgian =Illyriens = Albanian Musik. The Albana and the Bask People are the olldest People in Europa. Sorry this are Fakts!!!
Said by a sibirian
As a Bulgarian I can say that this musi is very simular to Bulgarian folklore music! Even the costunes of men are simular to the Bulgarian ones! I am very surprised of that fact and at the same time not very much! Before falling under the rule of the Ottoman empire Bulgaria was an enormous country and its influence is obvious to many places especially in music
Before Slavic come in your land this music and this language has sings and speake in your land
Sata Stimul I know a lot about Thracians because my couuntry is full of archaelogical inventions about them - tombs, golden treasures, etc. Nowadays there are historic scientists who have the hypothesis that Thracians and Bulgarians are two different names of one and the same population. More precisely Bulgarians were part of Thracians.
+Vladislava Ivanova You must be joking bulgarians did not influence albanians. Iso polyphony is protected by UNESCO and is an Albanian masterpiece of oral traditions and history dating back to the Illyrians. The costumes are traditional Albanian clothes that also date back to the illyrians. This can be proven by the mosaics, pottery and carvings on stones as well as roman written accounts. The slavs came into the 6th century from russia to invade European lands thus adopting the native people's customs and traditions.
+Florian Gjonaj Do you think that the so called "Slavs" come to this land naked? Or without their own culture and traditions? And if they are the invaders in these lands, isn't it more logical their culture and traditions to be dominant not vice versa? And why everything in the video is so simular to the folklore in my country? The term "Slavs" was invented in the 17th century in Russia because the Russian Emperor wanted to justify his policy and wars on the Balkans. Up to 17th century the word "Slavs" didnt exist. Bulgarians didn come from Russia and are not Slavs. Bulgarians formed 7 different countries in different places in Europe and Asia during the last 1600 years or more. They were in Iran and Pakistan too, which also are places of great culture. One of these 7 countries still exists around the river Volga in Russia. There are lots of lies and speculations about our origin. But I think that folklore in most parts of the Balkans is simular because it is influenced by the Thracian tribes who were "numerous as the sand" according to a ancient Greek writer. But who knows?
Vladislava Ivanova Bulgarians are not slavs?? How come bulgarian, bosnian, serbian, macedonian,croatian, ukranian etc falls into the same branch as russian? Please. If there were slavs before the 6th century in the Balkans, the romans and greeks would have written about them. You say that if they are invaders in these lands it would be more logical that their culture is dominant. Wrong. You adopted all your culture from the people you found. You adopted orthodox christianity from the greeks. Please. With all due respect to you, when Albanians had civilizations, slavs were still cavemen.
A Greek friend from Northern Epirus informed me...A great part of your vocabulary is turkish...
Ftehos sorry but the reality is differnet, albanian language is one of most oldest language of indo-european. In the other hand the bible starts with a world 'Nephilim' in albanian this is 'Ne Fillim' means 'In the Beginnig' maybe is concidence but Bucharest capital of Bulgaria in Albanian is 'Bukur eshte' meaning 'Its beautiful'
For every Turkish word that entered Albanian dictionary there are one ore more Albanian synonymous words that can replace that word. Turkish language only made are language richer didn’t damage it and there aren’t many Turkish words in our dictionary, thats a flat out lie, there’s just a few of them!
Yes words like cai, baklava, suxhuk...and now? This doesnt mean albanians are turks
Ftehos 🤮

We are shocked u know.. we have found that Albanian Language is the old GRACIA Grake old Greek.. Arkaic Shqi.PERIA epiri. Is the old Greek.. wait and see.. that's y our DNA is 85 to 95 Archaik Greek.. Grake. Graecia.
How it is possible to put stamps of nationality in music?
This is archaic (Greek αρχαικό) made by indigenous people..The words Epirus and polyphony is Greek also...Also the term iso(Greek ισσός-Isocrates,i hold the one)
Don't be nationalist about the music.. Don't fight in a fasist way...just find Albanian words to describe,the words,harmonia,synthesis,melodia,symfonia,polyphonia,rythmos,isocrates, and make it "yours"....The Greeks conquered the world with 24 soldiers,their alphabet..
armoni- ar=gold + moni= took . popular expresion of purity and something unison
sinthes=sit thes- sit=verb of filtering the flour or anything else riged+thes = sack where you can keep flour or anything . si n thes= as in sack. si ne teh= sa in the cuting sword ( sword symbolic always has been the rational words)
melodi- me loti= made me with tears , me lo di= i knoe how to let it (flow of freedom), me lu di= i know to play (or move) it.
siphonia= si mthon ni= like to say one= but in albanian is naturaly understood all in one. si mthoni= i do as you say to me
polyphonia= po li thonia= po li thenie =po ia mar fjaleve. po lu thonia= expresion of playing as instrument the words(playing music by words)
isocrate=izokrat= i zo kret= a voice of all heads. i zo krat= catch from the arms or wings. i zo kreit= ketch them all. ketch their heads.
Dont worry... we have our name for calling it... its "Labçe" and it happens not to be greek haha!
By the way... 24 soldiers? We have 36? Haha! Calm down my friend lol
@Greek Souliote Power Yeah ok you win... but i suggest you to take a look in youtube:
1. What Manolis Glezos said in Greek parliment about albanians. Many of the Greek parliment members have Arvanite surnames.
2. Have you ever watched the documentary of SKAI TV, a greek TV, about 1821 and Arvanites?
3. What does Maria Efthimiou say about arvanites in Greece?
Souliote Power? Lol! You seem to be arvanite also...
One last thing... what does fustanella mean in greek language? hahaha

Albanians learned to sing from Greeks, and Greeks themselves forgot, you’re hilarious 😂

You dont even sing this kind of songs. But its true the Albania Epirote music and Greek epirote music with a clarinet is very similer
Lirian there’s no greek epirote music, only Albanian Epirote music, get your facts straight!
