"Bahar" is the ultimate musical expression of contemporary
multicultural identity. It is a musical journey that begins
from the soil of the Balkans, opens up into the big blue of
the Mediterranean, to end in the trails of the East. The
inspired compositions are by Makis Ablianitis. It is music
shed by the sun of the Mediterranean.
The deep melodic voice of Manolis Lidakis, graces the two
songs of the album. Poetic lyrics performed by, perhaps,
the best Greek male vocalist.
The album also features four very prominent artists:
Hariprasad Chaurasia, the greatest Indian flutist, internationally
acclaimed, known for his collaborations with Ravi Shankar,
John McLaughlin and Jan Garbarek, among others
Dragan Dautovski, the kaval and gajda virtuoso from FYROM,
Haig Yazdjian, the great Armenian oud player, Petros Tabouris,
the Greek canun virtuoso.
In times when the borders of nations are falling and a new
cultural identity is emerging, "Bahar" takes on the role of
the sound sample of this new culture. A sound that respects
the diversities and individualities of the cultures that
comprise this album, but at the same time is the median that
presents us with a contemporary musical direction.
