"The title of the cd in English is "Sparrows of the rain"

George Andreou is a very talented composer on the Greek music scene. In this particular cd he joins forces with Dionyssis Karatzas who is an excellent poet and with Thanasis Tsipinakis who is the contactor of an orchestra made of mandolines mainly, and guitars. It is based in Patras.



In the cd the artists that sing are Eleni Tsaligopoulou, Dimitris Basis, Tania Tsanaklidou, Vakia Stavrou, Marios Fragoulis, and finally the composer himself George Andreou who sings his own composition with a very special feeling. I anyway find this true for all composers even if they are not good at singing they still have a special feeling when they sing their own songs.



All the song contribute to a very nice atmosphere that this cd creates. It has both slow songs and more fast paced ones and although you might not understand the words the music itself is good for background music.



I had the chance to listen live to this orchstra at the Athens opera house and it was rally a magical experience. Buy this cd and enjoy it."
