PALEINA SEFERIA

PALEINA SEFERIA

It is difficult to measure the contribution of several Cretan music bands to the popularity and evolution of the Cretan music.

Palaina Seferia is a band that introduces a new era in the search of Cretan Music. The band members are four young musicians and two composers. In this album they attempt to present to their audiences, Cretan and non Cretan, the particularly wide spectrum of Traditional Cretan Music in a way that reveals the latter’s roots to the music of Byzantium but at the same time responds to the contemporary musical needs.

The band “Paleina Seferia” is a group of young people that through their music express the essence of their souls and their love for this musical genre. Their inspiration can be no other than the great Cretan artists of the past as well as of the present.

Zacharias Spiridakis, Eirini Derembei, Karolos Kouklakis and Aggeliki Xekalaki, offer us remakes of old traditional Cretan songs and their own musical creations.

This work is included in 1 CD and a 16-pages informative booklet where you can find valuable information and photographs of the band and Cretan music.
