Description: The Polyphonic Caravan is a longstanding project aimed at researching, safeguarding and promoting the Epirus polyphonic song, which is performed by a group of singers that touches on almost every aspect of life. In the mid-1990s, a group of young people founded the NGO ‘Apiros (Polyphonic Caravan)’ to address the threats to the element after inhabitants of Epirus began migrating to large urban centers. Their primary goals, which remain central to this day, were to raise awareness about the practice, document it, create bridges and bring practitioners together.
