El puerto
Notis Mavroudis – George Tosikian (guitar duo)
A couple of words concerning the consert I first collaborated with Giorgos Tosikian as a guitar duet, playing songs and melodies which define a particular atmosphere around the musical climate of the guitar. This collaboration led us to a repetoir of folk songs from Larin America, without any lyrics, from nameless composers, musics lost in the depths of time... We started looking through partial sheet music and old recordings, all the while trying to discover the enchanting melodies and the rythms of a different musical culture, extremely close to the latin american tradition. We came upon some magical musics! This is not the first time I busy myself with guitar covers and many times I have worked in reconstituting earlier works. That was the main theme of the six discographies of "Cafe de l'art". It's not so different now. The material we had, not only the Latin melodies, we worked it togeather and we developped it with the guitar in such a way so as to reflect the classical form combined with the folk sound. The listener will experience melodies from different musical idioms and will possibly... travel to "places" in his own mind and imagination. Let us travel togeather... Notis Mavroudis

Woman is a mystery
“Stringless” (Women vocal group)
“Woman is a mystery” – Stringless WOMAN IS A MSTERY… Sea and fire, and woman, the third evil. There’s no other beast harder to fight than woman. Do not trust a woman, even if she’s dead. Woman is the root of all evil. This is what our ancestors were thinking about women. Since those days, they’ve been trying to solve the great mystery “what’s inside a woman’s mind”, but still there’s no answer! What do Stringless think about the mystery? WOMAN IS A MYSTERY… Six women sing about woman inspired by Greek and Balkan tradition, folk singing, revue and theatre. In a satirical, sarcastic, romantic and sometimes dramatic mood Stringless approach woman archetype. A music show consists exclusively of voices. Strictly feminine! “Stringless” group members: ALBENA KOUTOVA, VASILIKI ALEXIOU, DOROTHEA MICHAEL, ELSA MOURATIDOU, KATERINA MAVROFRYDOU, STELLA GIALTZI
