Taxidi - Traditional Dance Music from Greece and Asia MinorThe Taxidi CD is sold out and is no longer available  Kostantis Kourmadias Saz, Violin, VocalsLaura Shannon Dajre, Bendir, Zills, Spoons, Vocals Yiorgos Pappas Oud, Lafta This new offering of old songs, recorded on the old instruments, is like a ship setting sail for the past, the future, and lands of hidden treasure. Each note of music, the steps we dance to it, and every glance the dancers exchange, are sparks from the embers of an ancient hearth. Woven patterns of words, melodies and movements convey forgotten values, which we hope to rekindle in a new way. Songs of separation and exile give voice to the sorrow of parting and the longing for return. Wedding songs, like mystical poems, celebrate joyful communion between body and soul, heaven and earth. They exhort us to remember: our days on earth are counted, so live them to the fullest, with joy. Total running time: 69.02 CD Price: €20 (+ postage) |
