MUSIQUES
DES MONTAGNES
World music
Musiques des Montagnes creates a sweeping portrait in sound of Greece
and the Balkan world. Joyful music, ballads, and political songs sound
amazingly modern here, yet they preserve the distinctive flavour of different
cultures. You will be charmed by the blend of the warm voice of Claire
Gignac with the surprising sonorities of the instruments.
