Samsara

Samsara


Our early 2009 CD project, Samsara, brings several new and diverse flavors to the table.

While continuing to develop our favorite styles and instrumental fusion of Greek Bouzouki, Vocals, Accordion, Violin, Mandolin, Guitar and a heavy dose of percussion, we have added the new voices of the Sitar and Harmonium, giving Samsara a touch of Indian flare. The CD includes several original tunes inspired by our various genres of "Gypsy", Celtic and Medieval influence, as well as some of our favorite traditional pieces. To cap off the lot we have also included two popular covers of of our most requested songs "Marco Polo", by Loreena McKennit, and "Kashmir", Led Zepplin's classic done with a Silk Road feel.
