From the fertile landscape of the Mediterranean rim comes this evocative new offering of songs from Savina Yannatou, one of the region’s most stellar voices today. Yannatou has already been hailed throughout Europe for her ability to enrapture audiences with the ancient tonal textures and unheard local dialects of the Mediterranean world.

Now, on Mediterranea, Savina Yannatou joins forces with the acclaimed Primavera en Salonico ensemble to offer this shimmering mosaic of ethereal voice and rhythm from the nearly-lost song traditions of Greece, Tunisia, Sicily, Corsica, Albania, the Holy Land and more.

With toumbeleki, bendir, tambourine, daoul, kanonaki, viola, nay, oud, tamboura, recorder, guitar, violin, and double bass.

CD, 60 minutes
