SOFIA LABROPOULOU & VASSILIS KETENTZOGLOU
GUITAR – KANUN DUET

Versatile Greek musicians Sofia Labropoulou and Vassilis Ketentzoglou have created a repertory for this unprecedented combination, resulting in a new and fresh musical soundworld; a meeting of minds and cultures. These musicians have found innovative ways to blend contrasting musical worlds: the guitar sometimes becomes an ‘Eastern’ solo instrument, playing microtonal melodies and using Middle Eastern ornamentation, and the kanun becomes like a ‘Western’ instrument, playing chords or even counterpoint.
