Charles Lloyd & Maria Farantouri - Ralf Dombrowski

Joint interview with Maria Farantouri & Charles Lloyd, in which they talk about how they met, leading to their collaboration on stage, the recording of that concert, and its release on the CD Athens Concert.

The live recording captures a magical and emotional evening, with a touch of melancholy transforming into emphatic and grandiose musical themes…

…American blues seems to flow naturally and directly into the passion of Greek sounds. Tradition and the magic of the moment come together in this wonderful album.

R. Dombrowski
