Apo kseno topo / Απο ξένο τόπο by Hispanistán published on 2013-10-18T12:55:02Z Eleni Pozatzidou: Vocals Alfredo Sarno: Drums and percussion José María Pedraza Sánchez 'El Petaca': Piano and keyboard Juan Masana: Double bass Joaquín Sánchez: Clarinet and other wind instruments CONTACT: hispanistan@gmail.com fb.com/hispanistan Recorded at Harold's Burgon Studio, 6-8 July 2013 The HISPANISTAN project offers a repertoire that reviews, reinterprets, and arranges traditional and folkloric themes of the Balkans, Sephardic Jews, Turks, Spaniards, Greeks, and Italians among others, as well as offers their own current songs and compositions. A varied repertoire that draws from traditional sources to create a musical universe that reflects the influences and trends that the music receives, elements of jazz and other modern music merge with tradition creating a unique meeting place. Musical experience as well as their concerns and research regarding folk music, improvisation, communication, and joint creation unite these musicians from cardinal points of the Mediterranean to develop and share a common musical language, taking Granada as their stage. On the stage will be: Eleni Pozatzidou on vocals, José María Pedraza on piano and keyboard; John Masana on double bass; Alfredo Sarno on drums and percussion and Joaquín Sánchez on the clarinet and other winds. A project that delves into the roots, seeking originality by returning to the origin, which appreciates the depths of tradition and unites it with the multiphrenia and the musical melting pot of our times.
