About the Author:
Pantelis P. Vavoules was a distinguished Cretan teacher, folklorist, and writer whose work preserved and celebrated the island’s oral traditions. His dedication to documenting the musical and poetic heritage of Crete left an important cultural legacy.

About the Book:
The Cretan Singer is a rich collection of Cretan mantinades and folk songs — short, rhyming couplets sung with the accompaniment of the Cretan lyra and laouto. Mantinades often explore themes of love or satire, typically improvised in a lively call-and-response during dances and festivities. Deeply rooted in Renaissance Cretan poetry, these verses echo the rhythms of the beloved epic Erotokritos. This volume is both a work of literary preservation and a window into the living tradition of Crete’s musical-poetic expression. A scarce first edition from Crete — an essential piece for collectors of Greek folklore, music, and poetry.
