THE BAND

 

Michalis Polichronakis and his band, bring together sounds from every corner of Crete, in a performance which tracks the route of Cretan music through time: from “Rizitiko”, the ancient Cretan songs that survived to our days by oral tradition, to the legacy of the 20th century Masters of Cretan music, to compositions of his own and of other modern remarkable Cretan artists. The lyra and the lute are engaging harmoniously in adaptations that enthral the audience by the intensity, the pulse and the strong emotions that are in the very heart of Cretan music.
