Just found some old footage of my grandad from his singing days in Cyprus.

He sang a style called chatista..A kind of chanting.

The chants would often include funny or poignant stories.

missing my grandad a bit right now but so proud of him.

have a look. He kicks in at 01.14.

The chap before him is his brother..my uncle
