Subscribed right away; very surprised to see Albanian “Cham” on a Greek channel. Music is beautiful in the Balkans, and people are welcoming, but they have a history ripe with wars and sufferings, and a lot of resentment against one-another. I love Greek music, I love Slavic music, and I love Albanian music. Let’s hope the region will find peace after all.

Well that is the problem with ethnic modern states. For millenia the Balkans were part of multiethnic empires where the prime characteristic of a citizen was not language or custom but religion. All modern people try to find their lost roots in ancient times and contradict each other proving nothing of course...So, until some new (or old) political and societal system emerges... let the debate continue.

Let's take it easy. First geography. The geography of the Balkan is extremely mountainous and doesn't help for easy traveling. It can be a village on one side, and they don't know who are the people, living on the opposite side of the mountain. One similar example is Switzerland. Same mountainous country, four ethnic groups, and four languages. Second History. From the year -200 until the year +1400, there were no borders. Remember ? The Roman Empire. Pagan Roman or Christian Roman, it was the same Empire. And there were no borders in the Balkans. And then ? The other Empire. The one that treated ALL of us as 2nd class humans. The Ottomans. For how long ? Another 600 years. And we ALL fought to get our freedom from them. So, for two thousand years, there were no borders, no countries, nothing. Third, culture. When in a small area are living group of people it is natural to mix their cultures. All songs sound the same, all dresses are similar, all instruments of music are the same, and all dances are copied from one to the other. Especially if all are sharing the same religion. Don't our young children dance with the same beats today are rave parties ? And now the hard stuff. We all fought our national patriotic wars to get our freedom from the Ottomans and practice freely our religion. Despite if our heroes are named Skender bey, Kolokotronis, or Vasil Levski, they all share the same inspiration for freedom. Out countries became reality, and our borders are real on the map, after 2000 years. Well, it is not a realistic example for the Greek borders to include all Greek speaking groups. Otherwise, Greece today would have borders with Russia. It is not realistic for the Bulgarian borders to include all Bulgarian speaking populations, otherwise The Bulgarian borders would be in Thessalonica, and Prespa Lake. It is not possible for Albanian borders to include all Albanians. Otherwise, Albania would start from Serbia an end in Lybia, or maybe Kongo. If for 2000 years all people moved from here to there under two Empires, there will always exist pockets of groups left outside. Is this a problem ? Well. Let's start from race. Are we all of the same race ? Yes, definitely we are. White Caucasians. Do we all have the same religion ? Yes, definitely we have. We have faith to Christ and the Resurrection. Do we have the same language ? No, we don't. But also in Switzerland they don't have the same language but they don't call each other "Aaarrrggg I will come and eat you" ! We live in the mountains. We were isolated for so long. No Autobahns, no Autostradas, no Freeways. One Egnatia Road and some mules. This is our past. Of course we don't speak the same language ! Solution. As for 2000 years we lived without borders, and we traveled from here to there, and we married the girls and the boys between us, it is time to put aside the lines of the map, and the National pride we all have. We are all small countries. There will never be an Albanian, a Greek, a Bulgarian, a Romanian, or a North Macedonian Empire. A new Empire is rising, the European 🇪🇺 Empire. Again, with no borders. History repeats itself. Let's all share our common past, present, and future. It's time to behave like the Switzerland 🇨🇭 people, and stop dreaming of eating each other. Who am I ? My grandfather, age 17, as a young Greek soldier, came to fight for libération of the Greek speaking groups, from the Turks, in 1912. He was in a small vilage, where people spoke a different language. He met a beautiful young girl, and she became my grandmother. For 100 years I didn't know that I have uncles aunts, 1st, 2nd, 3rd cousins in the neighboring country. I am very happy now, that I have 300 relatives in North Greece, 300 relatives in South Greece, and 300 relatives in Bulgaria. And no, I'm not going to eat any of them. They are my blood ! ❤

You seem to view the ottoman period as some dark nightmare... Why? If they were genocidal maniacs as you seem to want to portray them as, why does the Balkans still have the immense cultural diversity even after six centuries of ottoman rule? Logically there are only two answers to this: either they were so incompetent at genocide that they failed even though they tried for sic centuries straight, or maybe the intent was never outright genocide? I won't claim that the entirety of ottoman rule was dances and roses, but I will categorically oppose the other extreme that you provided here. Insofar as your claim about there not existing any borders... are you for real man? Yeah modern nation state borders were probably nonexistent prior to the rise of nationalism in 18 and 19 hundreds, but there were borders still. Principalities, kingdoms, duchies, counties etc, you really believe that they just existed in the mind? Lol, I appreciate you trying to have a discussion about history, but that's the slippery slope with the Balkans, we are the best ans simultaneously the worst. Your opening text deserves praise and respect, since it is true: any call by any populist politician who calls to "unite our glorious people in one country" is cause for concern and worry..

Huge praise to the uploader for this. This attempt at celebrating the diamond that is cultural diversity is sadly too rare to see in the Balkans, and it made me happy to see it. The ethno purists should be ashamed, yes we had problems hundred years ago, but we should not perpetuate needless conflict today, it's pointless. Teach people mutual respect and the ability to appreciate the culture of the other. So at least I give you top marks for this, may we all come together like one great Balkans family❤

Many of the dresses, dance forms and linguistic features are like our northern areas, particularly Kashmir and parts of KPK province. One dress item of men, a short cotton tunic with close fitting pants is very similar to what people of Rajhastan in neighbouring India wear. As I write these lines, folk music of Greece sounds similar to folk music of Rajhastan and area close to Rajhastan in Indian state of Gujarat. Amazing. I will listen to this gem again and do some research. I think remnants of Alexander army settled in different places in the sub- continent. ❤

Thank you very much Vasilis... this time, I also love "your personal note" (as you called it, under the video), YOU may be the only (1) artist (of all youtube channels I've seen in a decade) saying what you're saying, and that's sooooooo beautiful : ) (cit.) "Greece, like any state in the world, must protect and take care of every citizen and group its borders have... (cause) like all states, Greece (too) has made mistakes with its own people and especially those people I presented (in this video) don't enjoy the right of self-determination and are marginalized..." (end cit.) Of course, beautiful presentation but in my "view" you also beautifully explained the "truth", with few simple words... let me say it again : ) this video... beautiful, as always, as all your presentations you published so far, but what is Greece alone, Balkans, even Europe seems so "small"... you even did one presentation "inspired by Silk Road"... I remember, couldn't stop smiling then (2-3 years ago) you were determined to dance at least 6000 km, I saw you started dancing in China, then crossing the Himalayas, reaching India, Pakistan, Afghanistan, Uzbekistanin, Turkmenistan, which regions else... the Armenian highlands, some regions of Kurdistan etc etc. dancing and dancing, what a tireless dancer, until you reached Constantinople : ) - - - few years ago, in another comment, I wrote - - - Videography of Vasilis means "peace", for example, he calls the Balkans "the most beautiful peninsula of Europe, but at the same time the most complicated and troubled...". In one of his videos, for the Balkan peoples he stated: (cit.) "...the message (of my video) is very simple one; PEACE! The Balkans is considered the powder keg of Europe, the keg ready to explode at any time. We must throw away this infamous title and work towards a brighter future. Work towards PEACE. Through this video I hope you can see that all the peoples of the Balkans are so similar to each other. War (verbally, or even worse, in reality) brings nothing at the end. We eat the same things, we have the same mentality, the same instruments, we have similar dances and rhythms, the list of 'Balkan similarity' goes on. We are powerful if we are all united, not divided." (end cit.) With his work, Vasilis as if "insists" that the entire cultural development and advancement of humanity is actually the "same frame", as if everything is one "global dance", as if the world is a balancing dance of the cultural "mosaic" itself ( with the "dance mosaic" I meant... all videos published about dances, I was thinking back then about his entire channel : )

The Albanians collaborated with the Nazi Germans and committed terrible crimes and this is the reason they left Greece to avoid trial. The same thing happened to the Macedonian Slavs when they took up arms against Greece in the civil war to gain an independent state. You talked about the rights of minorities but you deliberately forgot to mention the obligations they have towards the country that hosts them since the time of the Byzantine Empire

Even different language, its still Greek dance and culture. Not every country has to accept and take care of such different things. I enjoyed the music and landscapes, thank you Vasilis !!!

@@dimitriosvlissides5781 I do not knwo what happened to Greeks in Skopje (FYROM), Greeks in Turkey were exchange for Balkan Muslims, the majority of Muslims in Epirus were Albanians, they were expelled by force by the Greek government in 1922/23, and those who remained were expulsed in 1945 with the excuse that they collaborated with Italy attacking Greece (I can't blame them for collaborating with Italians). Orthodox Greeks, Orthodox Albanians, RusoPontus, Armenians, Georgians, Circasians, Levantine Orthodox people, and many more, were exchanged with Balkna Muslims, and Greece called all Orthodox people in Ottoman Empire to go to Greece as an Orthodox state. This altered the new modern Greek society. Read, Germans, the French and other academics and diplomats how the fabric of Greek society changed after the big population swap with Republic of Turkey in 1922/1923. Konstantinoploli was taken by the Ottomans in 1453... the city had changed its old Orthodox status since then, it wasn't Greek, further more, it was not Greek in 1453 either, because Bulgarians, Serbs and others occupied the throne of the Byzantium... it was the East Roman Empire... that's why Greeks, Bulgarians and other Orthodox people in the Balkans were called Romeoi. German diplomats who went to Greece to incite and support the war of independence were disappointed with locals having no "Greek" identity and no desire to revolt against the sultan. The Orthodox Patriarch in Konstantinople ruled the spiritual life of Romeoi people, and he reported to the sultan as the head of state. It was a dark time for all Orthodox people, many converted to escape high taxes, or to use the system; during those times, many Greeks left cities and lived a substinence life in the mountains, many became "comittes" (kachacks/TR) or bandits, making a living by attacking caravans and living a very asketic life away from the reach of Ottoman soldiers.

These are some really beautiful songs and dances. I think you’re doing a wonderful job representing other communities that live in Greece which some of them are by large numbers. It’s about time the Greek government recognizes minorities as its people. I don’t understand how you can be a part of an EU country and still not recognize their rights, that’s outrageous and discriminatory.

Well to be fair the grand majority of these people don't want to be recognised as ethnic minorities. Almost all Slavophones and Vlachs consider themselves ethnic Greeks, the same goes for more or less all Arvanites. The true problem is the Pomaks, who are unfortunately recognised as ethnic Turks even though they're not that. They're forced to learn Turkish at school (they're native language is a dialect of Bulgarian).

Έγραψα πολλά δεν ξέρω αν τα διαβάσει κανείς αλλά πιστεύω πως έπρεπε να ειπωθούν. Βασίλη, ως ντόπιος από την Αλμωπία που ασχολείται πάρα πολύ με την παράδοση της Μακεδονίας έχω να σου πω πως πολλά από τα τραγούδια που έδειξες στο βίντεο δεν είναι ντόπια μακεδονικά αλλά εισαγόμενα από πάνω. Π.χ. Το moma odi za voda δεν έχει καταγραφεί σε καμία περιοχή της ελληνικής Μακεδονίας, το ubava kalina προέρχεται από την Βουλγαρία από το Πιρίν. Η Σόφκα έχει αμφιλεγόμενη καταγωγή αλλά αν είναι όντως από τη Γουμένισσα τότε σε διαβεβαιώ ότι η συγκεκριμένη εκτέλεση που έβαλες στο βίντεο δεν είναι η παραδοσιακή αλλά κάποια έντεχνη έκδοση από τα Σκόπια. Το filka moma είναι επίσης δημιούργημα των σκοπιανών και το παρουσίασαν ως "Egejko Makedonsko" δηλαδή ότι έχει καταγωγή από την ελληνική Μακεδονία αλλά δεν ισχύει. Τα μόνα τραγούδια που είναι ελάχιστα παραδοσιακά είναι το ka mi ispadnala αλλά και αυτό επεξεργάστηκε στα Σκόπια και το jano janovice που ίσως υπήρχε στην περιοχή. Το ζάικο σαν τραγούδι δεν προέρχεται από δω αλλά κι αυτό από πάνω. πλήρως παραδοσιακά τραγούδια της Μακεδονίας είναι π.χ. Viena loza, popova kerka, sareni tsurapi, stani stanke, suleimanovo, otfori leno και από Φλώρινα το na tumba turtsi, snosti se riska armasa και ίσως το sto mi e merak poljak da bidam και το ej mori dano. Επίσης θα ήθελα να σου πω πως το "ethnic macedonians", το "slavic macedonians" και το οτί είμαστε εθνική μειονότητα πληγώνουν τον ντόπιο. Είμαστε γλωσσική μειονότητα, μιλάμε τα "ντόπικα" (που είναι μόνο προφορική γλώσσα), νιώθουμε και είμαστε εθνικά Έλληνες (εκτός από κάποιες μικρές εξαιρέσεις κυρίως στην περιοχή της Φλώρινας). μπράβο για τη δουλειά σου πάντως!

Η πραγματικότητα είναι άλλο πράγμα. Δεν μπορείς να είσαι «σλαβόφωνος» Έλληνας. Η γλώσσα λέγεται μακεδονική και αν μιλάτε τη γλώσσα προφανώς έχετε μακεδονική κληρονομιά

@@yllidomi2772 You got it all wrong my friend... Chams are Muslim Albanians from Epirus; while Arvanites are Greek community of Albanian ancestry (DNA), customs and language. Arvanites date from 11th century onward; with the massive migration of Slavs in south-east Europe, Albanians and other local people were pushed down south. Slavs reached deep into Greece and Epirus, along with them came the Romanians (Vlachs from Vlachia). Many people in Epirus, both Greek and Albanian side of the border have Slavic DNA and they are respectively Orthodox and Muslims, and they date prior to Ottoman invasion of Greece and Albania. Cham is most probably a name for Muslim Albanians in Epirus based in the pine forests in the region... pine tree is translated "cam" in Turkish. There is no other meaning; otherwise Albanians are called "Arnaut" and Greeks are called "Junan" because of the Ionian sea. Ionian sea (Deti Jon) most probably from Albanian language, just like "Mare Nostrum" for the Latins. Latins had their sea, Albanians had their own sea, Greece had the Egean sea.

I think it kinda depends on the context but it's an insult nonetheless. But despite the use of the word, it's also because they assumed that he's a "traitor" for making this video. It's quite common for people in the balkans to think like that unfortunately, especially when what's presented is very controversial, and no matter how neutral Vasilis is trying to be, many greeks disagree with the ancestries of these minorities explained in this video and just assume that he's trying to push an agenda.
