Dialogues with World Music
Three Greek Groups
Three Greek bands adding their voices to the multicultural sound of contemporary Europe: First, the atmospheric trio formed by three established musicians – Manos Achalinotopoulos, Stavros Lantsias and Yiorgos Kaloudis – who enter into a musical discourse, improvise and broaden the limits of Greek traditional music. Then there’s the Trio Balkano from Thessaloniki with the virtuosic Pantelis Stoikos on trumpet and kavali and its Greektinted, jazz-referencing approach to the Balkan brass sound. Finally, Imam Baildi, the group formed by the younger Falireas brothers which has already caused a stir with its contemporary electronic take on traditional sounds, the Greek popular music of decades past and rembetika. With acoustic instruments combined live on stage with samples and electronic sounds, yesteryear rises out of today to greet tomorrow. [L.Α.]
