Review by Shibli Zaman
Songs of Roumeli is a captivating album that features a collection of traditional songs from the Roumeli region of Greece. The album is a collaborative effort by various artists who have come together to preserve the rich cultural heritage of the region through music.
The album features a wide range of instruments including the bouzouki, clarinet, and accordion, which are skillfully played by the artists. The songs are beautifully arranged and showcase the unique rhythms and melodies of the Roumeli region.
One of the standout tracks on the album is "Kalamatianos," a lively dance tune that will have listeners tapping their feet and moving to the beat. Another notable track is "Tsakonikos," a slower-paced song that highlights the soulful vocals of the lead singer.
