Μερικά καινούρια κομμάτια/ some new songs!

Γεια χαρά!

Εδώ μερικά κομμάτια που δουλέυουμε με την παρέα στην Αθήνα, Δάφνη/ κλαρίνο, Θάνο/βιολί, Κατερίνα/ κρουστά και γω στο λαούτο. Τραγουδάμε και δουλέυουμε καινούρια κομμάτια δικά μας που έχουν βγει μέσα απο τις παραδοσιακές μελωδίες και σοφίες που μαθαίνουμε τόσο καιρό.. Εδώ είναι ηχογραφημένα πρόχειρα απο πρόβες μαζέμάτα αλλά
ελπίζουμε και σκοπεύουμε σύντομα να τα καταγράψουμε (αυτά και άλλα) με ένα πιο καθαρό και οργανωμένο τρόπο!


Αμαν γιαρει

Σκοπός που από κάπου μου' ρθε πριν μερικούς μήνες στην Κρήτη. Και μέσα απο την παρέα μας έγινε κάπως έτσι. Οι μαντινάδες δεν είναι στάνταρ, στη συγκεκριμένη βερσιον όμως λέμε  για τα χωριά και την κοινότητα κυρίως.



Πόσες φορές

Εμπνευσμένο μελωδικά από την καληνυχτιά, γνωστός σκοπός στα δωδεκάννησα και μικρασία. Και στιχουργικά, από τις τόσες σιωπές που υπάρχουν στις ζωές μας.



Πρώτα φύλλα

Κομμάτι της Δάφνης, περασμένο στην παρέα σιγά σιγά βρίσκει το δρόμο του!


Ήπειρος και Αλβανία

Τους στίχους αυτούς τους έγραψα μέτα από ένα ταξίδι στην Αλβανία και έχοντας γνωρίσει κάποιους Ηπειρώτες στην Αθήνα.. μια έκκληση για να είμαστε όσο το δυνατόν ενωμένοι και να ξεχνάμε τα σύνορα που μας βάζουν τα όποια κράτη και συστήματα αλλά και τα μίση και αντιπαλότητες που οι ίδιοι η οι οικογενειες μας τρέφουν προς τους ''αλλους''..

Lefteris Grigoriou is a multi instumentalist, teacher and composer from Athens, Greece. Lefteris has been since 1995 running a percussion school in Athens, called Ta Krousta Tis Taki, where he teaches Djembe and african rhythms as well as greek rhythms and percussion. He travelled a lot thourgh west Africa learning the local music with great teachers. He has played and travelled all over Greece with different groups also playing the Askomadoura and Gaida which are two greek versions of the bagpipe. The last years he has been performing with his Ngoni, a harp from west africa, combining the african rhythms and forms with the greek music and improvised verse singing of fifteen syllables, called Mantinades. So came up the project name Afromantinades!

Ell Sol & OneMansNoise Spring tour 2019

12-21 April in Germany and Netherlands

Ell Sol (Joan Mena) is a Catalan singer-songwriter whose intense, groundbreaking performances push the boundaries of contemporary music with the soul and sensibility of an artist looking to connect in deeper ways with his audiences. With songs sung primarily in his native Catalan, his lyrics transcend language with penetrating melodies and a familiar but unconventional delivery that leaves you wanting to put your palms together or jump to feet and dance. Ell Sol combines the rich, melodic intensity of flamenco with whimsical shanties strummed on his ukulele or other unusual instruments he plays while casually strolling through the crowd interacting with a unique brand of showmanship seldom seen today.

review by Richard Morris


OneMansNoise is the project of Dimitris from Athens. Acoustic concerts, with the main instruments being the lute and the voice, bringing stories and melodies from the traditions of Greece and around the world as well as own compositions based on traditional forms. Lately including also some wind instruments, like flutes and pipes and always inviting the people to join in any possible way in a small acoustic setting..!

Joan and Dimitris have been friends and music companions for years after meeting in Netherlands in 2013. Together they travelled with music in Greece, Netherlands, Germany, Poland, UK, Spain, Ghana and now meet once again after a while, for a new little exploration journey in the spring of northern Europe.

For the first three concerts, Caracol will be joining the team. She is based in Berlin and has been part of the polyphonic group Ena Matso Kores the last years. She brings different stories and songs that will be sung together through polyphonic encounters and explained and translated through moving shadows..!
