Kristi Stassinopoulou - Taxidoscopio [2006]

Kristi Stassinopoulou has created her own unique electro-world style with Greek folk rhythms, psychedelia, haunting vocal harmonies and a crystal clear voice.
The successful blend of traditional Greek rhythms and sound colours, haunting Byzantine vocal lines, rembetika music, psychedelic rock, ambience and electronica, combined with Kristi's vivid scenic appearance and personality and her colourful band, sparked great response and led to frequent appearances in music festivals and clubs mostly in Europe, N. America and Brazil..
 As on this album, she normally collaborates with her long-time musical partner & husband : composer and multi-instrumentalist Stathis Kalyviotis. Their current approach is still internationalist, neo-hippie, paganistic, experimental and described by them as ‘greekadelia’.Normally a 5-piece, the band on this album play a wide variety of instruments including : saz, laouto, lyre, gaida (greek bagpipe), saxophones, guitars, keyboards, percussion & djembe - and is expanded by guest musicians on individual tracks playing harp, tablas, trumpet & trombone.
