from Oannes *

Ένα από τα σημαντικότερα σχήματα που ανανέωσαν την αφρο-κουβανέζικη μουσική παράδοση είναι οι Irakere, η μπάντα του εκπληκτικού πιανίστα – συνθέτη Chucho Valdés. Αυτό είναι το ομώνυμο κομμάτι από το άλμπουμ τους Calzada Del Cerro του 1983.

* For my friends who didn’t know, or first timers here, Oannes [aka Socratis Papahatzis] is my husband, partner in life and music and the one with my undying admiration. Together we have a band MK-O [the music of Marina Kanavaki & Oannes]. So, it’s my pleasure to share with you his [and sometimes mine] musical selections. • Do visit his site. He has my highest recommendation!
