Knowing only "Galoway girl" from Steve Earle, i should change that.

The radio is on and you can already hear him with his sonorous, scratchy voice: Vasilis Karras. Suffering, melancholy, and he always seems to be heartbroken. In his songs, the Laika singer mainly addresses failed relationships and disappointments. This has made the musician one of the most popular and beloved Greek singers ever.

Lyrics: Give me a Danish cigarette, Pour us a drink to forget, Close the door so no one can see us, And come back to the old days......

Can you imagine the vibe of the santouri - the ravishing dulcimer of Greece-, the singing soul of the violin, and the impulsive rhythm section all together? This is Meybahar! A deep shot through the islands of the Aegean Sea and Asia Minor, with the spirit of India.

The ensemble Les Musiciens de Saint-Julien, founded in 2006 by French flautist and music researcher François Lazarevitch, is characterized by a fine sense of timbre, virtuosity and passion as well as poetic sensitivity. The ensemble specializes primarily in the music of the early Baroque period, both the classically notated “serious” music and the improvised dance and folk music of the time........

......Both flow together in the interpretations of Les Musiciens de Saint-Julien, for example when the musicians use historical instruments to search for traces of the 17th and 18th centuries to bring Gaelic songs and dances full of energy to life or when they search for the roots of Henry Purcell's music in Irish, Scottish and English folklore.

Georg Philipp Telemann (Born in Magdeburg on 24 March 1681. He died on 25 June 1767 in Hamburg, Germany) travelled to Upper Silesia in 1705. On this trip, he discovered ‘Polish and Hanakian music with its barbaric beauty. Hanak refers to the Hanna region [between the towns of Olomouc, Kroměříž, Prostějov and Vyškov.] in Moravia, Hána in Czech. This CD contains much of what may have reached the composer's ears from the pubs and dance floors of Eastern Europe. He called this music barbaric, not in a pejorative sense, but in the sense of wild.
