High Quality Content by WIKIPEDIA articles! The Song of Celo Mezani (Albanian: Kenga e Celo Mezanit) is an Albanian polyphonic folk song. It is considered to be the best-known Cham Albanian song. The song increased the awareness in Albania about the Chameria region and its history. The song was composed during the period of the Albanian National Awakening and is a narrative and a lament of the death of Celo Mezani, a well-known Cham Albanian revolutionary from the village of Perdika in modern north-western Greece (Cameria). Celo Mezani lived in the late 19th century and was a kacak who fought against Ottoman rule in his homeland. The Ottoman agents managed to kill him through betrayal. The song of Celo Mezani consists of three parts and is sung by two soloists and a drone group. It was recorded officially in 1957 in Fier in the Myzeqe region and in Skele in the area of Vlore by Cham Albanian refugees who had settled in those areas after the expulsion of Cham Albanians. In both recording the groups sang a cappella.
