Spondi by Stelios Petrakis Quartet
Stelios Petrakis, one of the current masters of Cretan music, returns with a brand new studio album, "Spondi" (libation).
The Stelios Petrakis Cretan Quartet brilliantly recreates the entire musical mosaic of Crete, marked in particular by Mediterranean influences. Accomplished instrumentalist, playing the Cretan lyre and laouto, Stelios Petrakis leads this quartet with two other musicians/singers and a twirling dancer.
