Music
Calabrian Greek has never had a broad tradition in music; however, at present there are a number of local folk groups who sing in this dialect.
An annual festival called "Palea riza" (that means "Ancient Root" in Calabrian Greek and standard Greek) of World and Calabrian Greek music is held in Bova and other picturesque towns of the area.
