| [Roubas, 1993, unpublished (;)] Tsamouria: The last wish of the moribund Albanian Muslim man-at-arms Osman-Daka in front of the bey of Margaritio was to dance for the last time. Permission was given, and the moribund dance with excess manliness in front of death. Tradition says that his dancing ability saved his life, but others don’t think so. Today it’s danced almost everywhere in Epirus by skillful dancers who have the ability to improvise and create, depending on the mood of the moment. It’s considered very difficult, since it requires special abilities because of its style. |
