This double album contains songs and tunes from Thrace by Chronis Aidonidis. It includes both known and previously unknown songs from Western, Northern and Eastern Thrace (according to the division of the region in the early twentieth century). The CD is a tribute to one of the most creative representatives of folk music. The sophistication of these excellent songs proves the direct interaction between the ecclesiastical-learned and the folk musical tradition. “This recording is one of the most imporatnt things I have ever done”, Chronis Aidonidis emphasises.
The CD, produced by Nikos Dionyssopoulos, is accompanied by a deluxe booklet with information, commentary, maps and musical analysis on the music of Thrace.
