PAGAN - Καρότσα (Karotsa) Live at Kyttaro Club Athens

And so the mystagogy began at Kytarro...
More moments from that unique night are coming... Stay with us.

"Carriage", or "Black was the carriage" as it is called in Alistrati of Serres, where it originates from, is a dark lament. Legend has it that it refers to the girls who were abducted by force from their homes and families in the past, in order to exploit them in any way possible. Everyone sings with one voice about Lenaki, Katinaki and all the stolen girls who suffer somewhere enslaved.

Today, as illegal human trafficking has become a global industry, the song remains unfortunately very relevant and not just a memory of the dark periods of human history. PAGAN honor this unique legacy and start their performance at the historic Kytarro in Athens.

"Black was the carriage and white were the horses,
they stole our Lenaki, damn, at dawn..."
