Evocative, expansive and enchanting yet accessible to everyone, this beautiful music blends sounds from around the world to create something unique and magical. From the Artist I love combining instruments that have never or rarely played together before such as the didgeridu, sarangi and glass armonica. The sitar is the instrument i enjoy playing the most. When I play one note I hear infinity. On this recording I have flutes from five different continents such as the Apache spirit flute, the Chinese flute, the Pan flute used in South America, the bansuri flute from India and the metal flute from Europe. I enoy writing melodic lines to interesting rhythms and the lyrics on this CD are very special. They are translated from the Greek poems of a woman freedom fighter. About the Artist As eclectic music fans have searched for something new and different to capture their interest, most new artists have simply tried to imitate what is currently popular. This is why Nana's music is capturing so much attention. Nana's music is drawn from the map of world cultures. It is unique in that she has succeeded in creating a captivating style that combines her love of Greek music and culture with music influences from India, Native America, Central Europe and Australia. Building upon a vast array of musical and songwriting influences; from Ralph Towner, to Dead Can Dance from Joni Mitchell to Rais Khan, Nana’s newest release, Daughters Of The Sun, encompasses 9 musical experiences which take the listener on a personal journey of time and place. The first song, Ishe O Wa, is a tribute to the Goddesses of Hindu spirituality that touches on fate and the choices we make. In Vin Yo Mai, written for the theater, focuses on the power behind of the spirited women freedom fighters that sacrificed their lives for the freedom of generations to come. Other songs such as Solo Waltz, display her musical talent of combining a Greek rhythm with an Austrian Waltz performed on a cello, sitar and various other instruments which are artfully combined from around the world. For music fans that are waiting to experience a new genre of music, Nana is blazing the trail.
