The name of the CD is Pesnite Zvezdeni (Starry Songs)
and as the title suggests, it's a collection of dreamy, poetic compositions which
can slow you down and fill you with the irresistible "Easy Going"
southern feel.
The instrument featured on the
CD is Tamboura
- very similar to Greek Bouzouki. The Tamboura is an instrument with a
lot of Mediterranean
sunshine embedded in its sound; you'll be positively
surprised by the amount of gentleness this little instrument can
generate.
The music on Pesnite Zvezdeni
is centuries old
and native.
Performed and recorded with a lot of attention, it's a pearl
in every folk-lover's collection.
What you will
discover is a totally new and interesting world of music which will
take you away on an unheard
journey of warm
harmonies and melodies, cosy
homes and hospitable
people.
A meeting with one of the last Romantic music
cultures in Europe.
The
author/arranger is Viktor Mastoridis
