Ragkoutsaria 2014: The crossroad of Greek and Balkan culture
This is not Rio De Janeiro. It’s not the same music. Not the same people, but with the same need. The need of having fun besides the cold weather of winter in Northern Greece. It’s a carnival before every carnival but with the same spirit. Live your AEGEEan myth in Kastoria,Greece.
The history of the event
The Ragoutsaria name comes from the Latin rogatores, ie beggars, (even in Latin means rogatio I), since disguised households to give them gifts in order to ward off evil spirits.
The Ragoutsaria have their origin from the ancient winter Dionysia , and is known by this name only in Greek part of Macedonia and Thessaly, where there was a troupe ofmasqueraders who roamed from house to house, entering and “charientizontas” with “nikokireoi” asking Priest and gratuities . It was hidden behind makeshift hides and masks, making sure to remove evil spirits that plagued the world of those times.
