A musical journey through the melodies of the Aegean sea. From Cyclades to Dodecanese, from Crete to Cyprus, from Peloponnese to southern Italy: a route along the sound waves of Greece in the company of an internationally renowned ensemble of musicians led by one of the finest ambassadors of Aegean folk music. A profound and spiritual experience testifying that tradition is not just a museum heritage, but something that lives, breathes and evolves within us, with us, around us, for us.
