"Villagers of Ioannina City" (or -V.I.C-) it's a folk/psychedelic/rock band from Ioannina City (Greece). They play a unique kind of heavy / psychedelic rock with a 70's attitude by combining it with a healthy dose of Greek folk traditional music from the region of Epirus. The region's musical tradition is characterized by polyphony and the use of clarinet and pentatonic musical scales.
Simply put, the band fuses traditional music with modern psychedelic forms, creating a unique sound.
In 2010 they released a 6 track promo. After 4 years, in April 2014 they released their debut full length, titled "riza" (meaning root in Greek), available as a no-minimum download on their bandcamp and in physical formats.
Most of their tracks are covers of traditional folk songs but they also have some compositions of their own.
------------------------------------------------
Οι "-V.I.C-" (Villagers of Ioannina City) είναι ένα συγκρότημα από τα Ιωάννινα με ελληνόφωνο και αγγλόφωνο στίχο. Παίζουν ένα κράμα ψυχεδελικού rock, stoner και παραδοσιακού ηπειρώτικου. Αυτό το καταφέρνουν ενσωματώνοντας στην κλασσική ροκ ενορχήστρωση το κλαρίνο καθώς και χρησιμοποιώντας παραδοσιακές πολυφωνίες βγάζοντας σαν αποτέλεσμα έναν πρωτότυπο και ταυτόχρονα σύγχρονο ήχο. Το 2010 κυκλοφόρησαν 6 promo κομμάτια προπομπό της κυκλοφορίας του ολοκληρωμένου τους album.
O πρώτος δίσκος έμελλε να βγει 4 χρόνια αργότερα, Απρίλιο 2014, με τίτλο "riza" και υπάρχει διαθέσιμο για κατέβασμα (χωρίς ελάχιστο αντίτιμο) από το επίσημο bandcamp του συγκροτήματος.

Villagers of Ioannina City Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Here comes the ray of Sun
Welcome to a new Age
Fullness of time has come
Welcome.
Look at the stars
This is the start of something new
The Age of Aquarius
Here comes the Sun
Glorius one
This is the start of new life
Flooding has begun
The song "Welcome" by Villagers of Ioannina City is a powerful and uplifting piece that speaks about the beginning of a new age of enlightenment, represented by the arrival of the Age of Aquarius. The lyrics begin with a warm welcome to this new age, stating that the "ray of Sun" has arrived, bringing with it the "fullness of time."
The chorus of the song introduces the start of something new, symbolized by the "Age of Aquarius." The singer encourages the listener to "look at the stars" and "look at the signs" to see that this new era has begun. The lyrics evoke a sense of hope and possibility, as if anything is possible in this new age.
The second verse speaks to the transformative power of this new era, as the singer proclaims that "the flooding has begun" and that this is the "start of new life." The arrival of the "glorious one" - likely a reference to the Sun - represents the beginning of a new chapter, one filled with possibility, hope, and change.
