On the 1st of December 1913, it became an official nomination of the union of Crete with Greece and the Greek flag raised on the fortress of Firka in the city of Chania, in the presence of King Konstantinos and Eleftherios Venizelos.
Crete continues to keep an important role not only for Greece but also for entire Europe, as it possesses a very important geographic place which for centuries was the desire of its conquerors.
Generally Crete has an extent of 8.331 square kilometres and after Sicily, Sardinia, Cyprus and the Corsica, it is in first five largest islands of the Mediterranean.

 I Muvrini: Pulifunie - PopMatters Music Review
Its hauntingly beautiful and plaintive music is the theme songs for my sleeping and waking reveries and has been for several years now -- since I first heard the likes of Petru Guelfucci's CD Corsica, Donnisulana's Per Agata, E Voce Di U Cumune's Corsica: Chants Polyphoniques, and especially I Muvrini 's À Bercy.
There are examples of both the sacred and the secular songs ( terzetti and paghjella) of Corsica as well as one written by Jean-François ("Terra"), a poem written by Ghjacumu Thiers and set to music by Jean-François ("Una Antra Matina"), and one written by Ghjuliu Bernardini ("O Salutaris").
From the impact of the song "Terra" on me and on those whom I have played it for on the radio and at social gatherings, I decided to make it one of my goals in life to help popularize the artists and the music of Corsica.

 Hector Zazou
During the early '80s, he was one of the first to fuse African music with Western music styles such as rock, techno and ambient, and by the late '80s he was delving into the polyphonic vocal music of Corsica, making an award-winning album, Les Nouvelles Polyphonies Corses, that achieved cult status across the Continent.
French musician Hector Zazou's quest for sounds and songs with a difference took him North, to find ethnic drumming from Siberia, joik chanting from Lapland, and the disappearing folk music of the world's Northern tribes -- which he combined with contributions from himself and world-famous artists, to create a unique musical experience.
Hector Zazou, virtually unknown in this country, but well-known in France, has long been a champion of what's usually called 'World Music' these days.
