Michalis Kontaxakis -Xefoto (GLADE)

Michalis Kontaxakis started at an early age to work on the music of his homeland and transmit it through his mandolin. To him, this is the most significant benchmark and the threshold of his musical pursuits thereafter. We got to know him through his album "Idiotropo". Going on with his musical pursuits, he introduces us to his second album titled "Glade". The mandolin, a musical instrument hardly playing the lead in the Greek music scene and discography, takes us on a journey through original sounds and inornate fusion of instruments. "Glade" includes 5 different musical drawings, with the mandolin as a paint brush, inspired by sounds and landscapes of Crete and the world.

This album is embraced by the talent of outstanding musicians, performers and lyrists. Singing: Dimitris Sgouros, Marina Dakanali, Maria Fasoulaki, Irida Tsigara. Musicians: Kiriakos Tapakis (oud), Sofia Efkleidou (cello), Antonis Voumvoulakis (guitar), Konstantinos Kalatzis (percussion). Lyrics: Mitsos Stavrakakis, Giorgos Karatzis, Giorgos Stavrakakis (Mihalobas).
