Anastasis

'Anastasis' is an album by the great Greek singer Katerina Papadopoulou. 'Anastasis' is the Greek word for resurrection and depicts the theme of this CD: how Greek music travels, changes and stays alive. A beautiful album by a superb singer, accompanied by an excellent ensemble.

The songs of this project depict an imaginary voyage of the Rose of Jericho through space and eras, in places of the Hellenism. The songs and tunes hail from Asia Minor, Aegean, Thrace, Macedonia, Pontos and South Italy. According to Katerina: 'It is music that we Greeks carry inside, without even knowing exactly the time of creation. Greek music travels and changes, transforms and persists and stays alive. It is not discovered, not revived. It is alive.'

Dance is intertwined in a primordial coexistence and one can feel the groove and the power that triggers movement.
