Coti K. - Yiagos Hairetis - Panos Katsikiotis

Coti K., Yiagos Hairetis and Panos “Tsiko” Katsikiotis merge different backgrounds and influences into an album that transcends the boundaries of traditional folk music. The three of them met in Anogia, Crete on September 3 and 4, 2019, to imagine/invent a new music that stems from the meeting of their different origins. The dynamic interaction of their masterful playing (Yiagos Hairetis - Cretan lute, mandolin, lyra, Coti K.- tenor lute-guitar, P. Katsikiotis Tsiko - percussion) gives the tracks an earthy, solid but also dreamy and delicate character. The result is a blend of Cretan sound colors with minimalist and post-rock forms, which however one would find it difficult to classify in a musical genre.
