Holy Time

Here is a unique and special album just for my friends on this blog. Greek traditional and rembetiko (the greek blues of the 20s-30s) songs played with jazzy orchestrations and the amazing voice of Sofia Noiti. A successfull experiment in my opinion as you will hear when you get this......
