The week that starts today, here at GME, turns to the beautiful island of Crete and to its uplifting, rhythmic music that constitutes a distinct and much-admired genre. Today, we will be spending our entire broadcast exploring the history of Crete’s greatest landmark, the palace of Knossos. In parallel, we will be appreciating the merging of dynamism and tradition in Cretan music, with the help of virtuosos such as Vassilis Skoulas, Vassilis Stavrakakis and Paris Perisinakis.
