Q: What comes in mind when we say ‘Greek dance’?

A: Zorba’s Dance and belly dancing?

Err, I think it’s time to know some more. Grab the chance to listen to the recently released CD ‘Diaphanous’ by Thanassis Papakonstantinou. Papakonstantinou writes the lyrics and produces an amalgam of music influenced by folk, artful, rock, jazz and electronic music. You may call it world fusion or ethnic. Categories don’t really matter. What matters is that ‘Diaphanous’ will get you off the ground to an inebriant, magical journey into the space and time in between East and West. The album includes fourteen songs with titles and some notes in English. Listen to some of the tracks online on myspace created by his fans: www.myspace.com/thanasispapakonstantinou.

Enjoy!

Verdict: 5/5
