traditional music from Crete
Μουσική παραδοσιακή Kpήτης
Psiloritis, no date, psil 119
One of many tapes produced in Crete. Another one of them ! would you say. But if you enjoy Cretan music you would want to listen to it anyway. Here we have Manolis Alexakis on lira, Manolis Saloustros on laouto and Yioryos Doulyerakis on guitar. They play throughout each side of the tape with the vigour that characterizes Cretan dance music.
Crete is another example of some places in the world where a small amount of people produces a huge lot of music due to the vitality of their culture. It's amazing how strong a tradition can be in spite of mass tourism, under developement in some cases, bad management from local administration, etc...
very good cretan lyre playing by Manolis Alexakis!! <> manolis alexakis and antonis saloustra live in sydney....
