| Abstract: | This series discusses Maltese folk music and the various Maltese traditional instruments, based on the book penned by Ruben Zahra: A guide to Maltese Folk music. |
| Description: | This program discusses a traditional carnival dance called Il-Parata. True to an age-old tradition, Carnival was ushered in by the Parata which was taken very seriously both by the knights and the people in general as it was of special significance in the history of this festival. It was customary for some peasants and later companies of young dancers to gather early under the balcony of the Grandmaster's Palace in Valletta and wait eagerly until they received formal permission from him to told the Carnival. The most recently appointed Knight Grand Cross would obtain the necessary permission and a proclamation giving the go-ahead to Carnival was immediately read from the Palace balcony. |
