DIRLADA - DIRLADADA.
The sponge diver's song that became a worldwide hit.
Everybody knows the song "Dirlada" since it was a worldwide hit at the
beginning of 70ies.
But only a few know that it is a sponge divers song from Kalymnos island.
It's career started when Domna Samiou, the Greek folklore music legend, discovered
Pandelis Ghinis, a sponge diver's boat captain, ho sung it on a very special way
and recorded it.
Then it was recorded by Dionysis Savopoulos and became his best commercial hit.
Our big musician Nikos Xilouris followed along with many Greek and foreigner
musicians.
In the 70ies it became a worldwide hit mostly by DALIDA and it was danced
for many years in clubs. The last version we found is a Techno!!!! version in French. Considering the videos published in YouTube, this
version seems to be very-very popular !
