The Mediterranean Sea, enclosed by two continents, encircled by a multitude of different countries, cultures and languages, enjoys a rich and colorful diversity of musical expressions. With cross-migration and trade throughout history, though, we do find common or similar instruments, rhythms, and musical styles. In spite of all the differences, there is a 'Mediterranean flair' in all the works presented on this new album. Songs featured include pieces from Albania, Lebanon, Greece, Morocco, Syria, Libya, Croatia, Sardinia, Bosnia/Herzegovina, Italy, Turkey, Egypt, Israel, France, and more. The traditional folk musicians featured on the release bring an authentic and natural flair to each and every work.
