You can always gauge the success of a Panighiri by the expressions on the faces of those in attendance and how long the band played. Guess this Panighiri in Exoghi, was a great success. Everyone smiling and the band played until 4.30am. There weren't as many people as last year, but those who did make it up the mountain, had a really great night. Lots of money was raised for the community and the Panighiri band (basically the old Ithaki Panighiri band with a few new faces) were absolutely fabulous. No waning, no pregnant pauses, just good instincts for what the crowd wanted to dance to. |
