Musafirat
Eleftheria Daoultzi | Giannis Rizopoulos | Kostas Tsarouchis
MORE
Musafirat presents a musical journey to Eastern Mediterranean countries and new compositions based on these ancient musical traditions with new approaches and an improvisational mood. Their name is inspired by the title of a book, written by Vasileios Ladas, an author from Patras, and in Farsi it means “journey”. Musafiri are the travellers, the visitors.

Manolis Christodoulou Quintet
MORE
The quintet was founded during the pandemic. It was essentially a spark of creation in an otherwise dark period for humanity. Its members are bound together by a mutual affection towards the traditions of both Greece and the wider Eastern Mediterranean region. In the compositions there are also clear influences and elements of western music and harmony. The result of the recordings and the first compositions of the quintet is their debut release with music that tells a unique story, one that each listener can imagine differently. The absence of lyrics gives everyone the opportunity to create their own story when listening to each track.
Manolis Christodoulou: qanun
Nikos Kochilas: violin
Ptolemaios Armaos: guitar
Giorgos Ventouris: double bass
Vangelis Karipis: percussion

The minimal instrumentation of the ensemble contributes to an authentic approach to these repertoires, always from a contemporary perspective.
