This album, released in 1987, is by clarinetist Yiorgos Mangas from Levadia, Greece. The track A1 features an exotic clarinet melody, reminiscent of Turkish folk music, combined with a funky guitar riff that somehow evokes the spirit of JB, creating a psychedelic sound. On track B4, the clarinet delivers a continuous, swirling melody over a fast-paced beat driven by acoustic guitar and traditional Greek percussion, creating an intense vibe. This album offers a fascinating modern arrangement of Greek folk music, influenced by Arabic music, in a new folklore style. It's highly recommended for fans of Embryo's ethnic music-inspired period.
A1: Tsifteteli Rok
