LES RESIDENCES DE CHARLES LLOYD
by Serge Truffaut
Le Devoir
Canada, 12  February  2012

Greek musicians? Foremost among them, a singer austere at will. A performer on the same wavelength with millions of Greek people who have been going through a difficult time over the last five years of recession. Her name is Maria Farantouri. Please take note of it.

Also Socratis Sinopoulos is on the lyre and Takis Farazis on piano. The latter two have created a bridge between two distant musical and geographical universes.
