Xylouris White
If you've ever listened to Cretan music, you are familiar with the sorrowful or intoxicating melodies that can come from the Cretan lyras and lutes. Cretan music remains folk and primal at heart, but is also a very popular and vibrant tradition that is being experimented upon. The Xylouris family have been pushing the island's music to undiscovered territory for the last 70 years, and Giorgos Xylouris has surely done his part. The lute virtuoso has teamed up with fusion drummer extraordinaire Jim White and together they've been recording and performing as Xylouris White since 2014. The result is part Cretan music, part post-punk, part jazz and one hundred percent mesmerizing. Catch them live at Parnassos Hall one day before they release their latest LP The Sisypheans.
