We explore the history of Trebizond under the Grand Komnenoi. Today I cover the period from 1297-1453.
The music for these episodes comes from the brilliant Youtube channel of Farya Faraji. Farya is a musicologist who collaborates with traditional musicians around the world to present music from different cultures on his channel, with an emphasis on authenticity and accurate cultural representation. This track is called Trapezuntine - Epic Byzantine Music. You can buy his music here. Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.
