Dance of the Satyrs
by Daemonia Nymphe
Надо ли представлять Daemonia Nymphe?
Культовая греческая группа по праву носит звания "лучшей нео фолк группы из Греции" или "греческой Ataraxia".
Говорит Spyros Giasafakis (Daemonia Nymphe): "
К нам поступило предложение, что бы сделать электронные ремиксы на навши песни.
Идея воспроизведения наших традиционных греческих инструментов посредством электронной музыке показалось мне весьма интересной.
Сочетание древних и современных созвучий делает наши песни актуальными сегодня и позволяет взглянуть на творчество DAEMONIA NYMPHE с иной стороны.
Все музыканты, создавшие ре-миксы на наши треки, являются нашими друзьями, музыку которых мы слушаем сами".
