"Avril 2010 - Vibrations"

A la croisée de l’Orient et de l’Occident, la Crète est au cœur des musiques qui irriguent le bassin méditerranéen. Comme le prouve ce disque cosigné par trois esthètes qui ont su valoriser la musicalité de cette île où ils ont grandi, investissant les répertoires anciens tout en les fécondant à d’autres influences. Comme celle du percussif iranien Keyvan Chemirani, qui les accompagne dans ce dédale thématique, entre danses rythmées et chants méditatifs, toujours guidé par les cordes sublimées des luths, dont les trois Crétois sont experts.

Bio

Anogeia is the village of a dynasty of musicians, poets and even Cretan politicians.
Anogeia is the city of the Xylouris family.

Nikos mythical singer, dead too young in 1980, stayed the idol of the country. His brother Psarantonis has gone through the best of the Cretan repertoire with his hoarse voice and the sensational flights of his lyra.

Giorgis Xylouris is the son of Psarantonis and the nephew of Nikos, his brothers and sisters are also musicians and singers. He carries in him an enormous heritage and an evident know-how, learnt in particular from his father.
The repertoire of Cretan songs and the rhythms of the laouto are the breath of its life.
