Among the more recent performances, the arrangement by Mimis Plessas with the band The Orbiters "Tria paidia (Voliotikos choros)" (LP "Greece goes modern", Pan-Vox X 33 PV 10101), released in Athens in 1967, and the performance by Mode Plagal entitled "Trois Enfants De Voliotique (Τρία παιδιά Βολιώτικα)" in the CD "Mode Plagal III" (Lyra / Musurgia Graeca ML 0715), released in 2001, should be noted.
Some appearances of the tune in the newer and contemporary discographies of various countries, either in instrumental or in song form, are noteworthy. For example:
The French band La Grande Bleue records the instrumental version of the song entitled "Kalamatianos". It is included in the LP "Musiques Imaginaires De La Méditerranée" released in 1983.
In 2014, the multinational musical group "Thrace is the place" recorded the album of the same name in Berlin, which was released in 2016. The album includes the recording "Samiotisa" in which the tune we are interested in is combined with that of the song "Samiotissa".
We also note the performance of the Hungarian ensemble Falkafolk Együttes ("Tria pedia"), the variations by the British David Waren Solomons for guitar and flute entitled "Variations on Tria Paidia Voliotika", the performance of the French Giamalis ensemble with the Grand Ensemble des Voix et Musiques des Peuples d'Europe ("Tria pedia").
On September 23, 1980, the work "Tria paidiá Voliótika" for clarinet, cello, trombone and piano (see here) by German composer Günther Becker (Forbach, April 1, 1924 – Bad Lippspringe, January 24, 2007) was presented in a world premiere at the "Warschauer Herbst" contemporary music festival, held in Warsaw since 1956. Becker lived and worked in Greece from 1956 to 1968 (see here).
This is one of the recordings made in Athens, between April 7 and May 26, 1930, for "The Gramophone Co Ltd" by sound engineer Ernest Gower.
