Digressions / Mapekbaeeie

Description

From the villages of Greek Thrace to the Pontic coast, the songs travel like a bird in flight and settle on the strings of the oud and qanun, embrace the melody of the clarinet, and anchor themselves in the dynamics of the accordion and percussion. The album Digressions / ?a?e?ß?se?? aims to celebrate popular music, explore our most buried states of mind, and serve as a necessary invitation to the party. Assafir draws its repertoire from traditional Greek music. Like the song of the goldfinch, Assafir's music intertwines elegantly, like the ballet of starlings, sweeping one into impetuous and enchanting dances.
