From the “rizitika” (root) songs of Manolis Lidakis and the Syrtos dances of Manolis Manouras to the beautiful coexistence of the oud of Giannis Dermitzakis with the voice of Katerina Zacharopoulou, today’s GME explores the rich past and vibrant present of Cretan music. Inventive folk poetry, plenty of improvisation, endless dance and instruments such as the lyra and the lute are the main ingredients of this unique musical universe.
