Free Music Notes for Rough Guide to Music of Greece
Free Music Review: Greek Music Defined
Hit: 5 Stars
Greece is located at one of the most important cultural crossroads in the world. The "Music of Greece" spans almost five thousand years and the combination of East and West influences on contemporary Greek music shows in this varied repertoire.
"Rough Guides" to the world of music delve right into the heart and soul of the country they are exploring. They are introductions to the music of a wide variety of countries. If you are looking for a multicultural journey in music, this is a good choice.
While the music in itself is intriguing, there is bonus information in the CD booklet. You can read a condensed history and a short history of each musician.
"The origins of folk dances such as kalamatianos go back to the Greek Mysteries, as do all the circular fold dances of Greek music."
If your only experience with Greek music is listening to songs while eating souvlaki in a restaurant, you might enjoy the immersion in everything from blues-like rembetika and island folk music to Greek electronica which is actually delicate and beautiful.
The music by Dimitris Sakalis sounded the most familiar to me. It is difficult to describe the music on this album because it is all so exotic and you would almost have to be an expert in each style to analyze the songs. There is a bonus data track with additional information if you are listening to this CD on your computer.
