Xenos
It has been my great good fortune to dance and work with Xenos many
times, both at home in Findhorn and in Australia.
They are wonderful
musicians, with both a feel for the spirit of the music and the ability
to bring it to life.
This CD is a wonderful collection of long pieces of music, recorded especially for dancers. It includes the studio version of Papalambrena (Tsamikos Kharditsa) and an extended version of Čirikli from Tutti Frutti. It also includes music for Papalambrena, Kalamatianos, Konstantinos, Zonaradiko, Syrto Kritiko, Karsilama/Dhipat, Valle and Jeni Jol.

Recorded live in the Universal Hall at Findhorn during the 2001 Sacred Dance Festival, this is the eleven minute version of Papalambrena (Tsamikos Kharditsa) that has become a huge favourite both far and wide. With the atmosphere of a live event and the extrordinary musical talents of Xenos this is a true gem. Close your eyes and you can feel the other dancers around you.
