Mediterranea (CD)

Savina Yannatou

From the fertile landscape of the Mediterranean rim comes this evocative new offering of
songs from Savina Yannatou, one of the region’s most stellar voices today. Yannatou
has already been hailed throughout Europe for her ability to enrapture audiences with
the ancient tonal textures and unheard local dialects of the Mediterranean world.

Now, on Mediterranea, Savina Yannatou joins forces with the acclaimed Primavera en Salonico
ensemble to offer this shimmering mosaic of ethereal voice and rhythm from the nearly-lost
song traditions of Greece, Tunisia, Sicily, Corsica, Albania, the Holy Land and more.

With toumbeleki, bendir, tambourine, daoul, kanonaki, viola, nay, oud,
tamboura, recorder, guitar, violin, and double bass.
