Mélina Kana, qui est une chanteuse grecque que j'ai découverte en l'an 2001. Elle possède une voix puissante et tendre très expressive qui me fait fondre de bonheur. Je ne me lasse pas d'écouter ses chansons dont les airs semblent dès la première écoute étonnamment familiers
Bien que de consonance grecque, l'instrumentation de ces chansons est variée: le bouzouki fait place au traditionnel piano puis à l'insolite cornemuse.
Le luth et le baglama accompagnent avec bonheur la voix cristalline de Mélina Kana. En s'entourant de grands compositeurs grecs, elle a réussi à créer, comme Arvanitaki, un passage entre la culture musicale de la Grèce méditerranéenne et celle de l’Asie centrale orientale
Tracklist :
01. Giorti (Organiko)
02. Aeriko
03. Vale Krasi
04. Stylitis
05. Opoios Agapise Den Xerei Na To Pet
06. I Lathos Moirasia
07. Armatolo (Organiko)
08. Milo Gia Sena
09. Ta Lafyra Tis Nyhtas
10. Alexantra
11. Apopse
12. Apohairetismos (Organiko)

Style : World Music , Sitar
Sortie : 1989By Alex Henderson, All Music Guide
In world music, some instruments are so distinctive that hearing only a few notes brings to mind a particular country and a particular culture. No instrument is more identified with Japan than the koto (even though the koto was actually invented in China and brought to Japan by the Chinese), and just as no wind instrument evokes thoughts of Scotland more quickly than Celtic bagpipes, no string instrument says "India" more than the sitar. It's hardly India's only important string instrument -- even those with only a casual interest in traditional Indian music should know about the vina, the sarod, the sarangi, and the surbahar -- but it's certainly among the country's most recognizable. One of North India's excellent sitarists is Partho Das, whose Music of the Sitar was recorded in Delhi in June 1989. This album finds him playing three instrumental North India-style ragas; the shortest is the eight-minute "Dhun in Raga Bhairavi," while "Raga Bageshri" lasts 30 minutes, and the equally hypnotic "Raga Yaman" lasts 28 minutes. Such extended performances aren't for those with short attention spans, but because Das is such a master of his instrument, he has no problem holding the attention of serious sitar enthusiasts. Das is joined by tabla drummer Rashid Mustafa on this excellent CD.
Tracklist :
[01]. Raga Bageshri
[02]. Dhun (In Raga Bhairavi)
[03]. Raga Yaman

A very funky, soulful, urban sound that will evoke images of late night lounges in the hippest part of the city. "How Ya Like Me Now" brings on some retro styles and showcases Matt's signature lead sound. Carl Burnett adds his magic touch on production (Larry Carlton, Boney James, etc). Seduction, I Will Be With You, Gas Lamp Groove, Family Funktion all deliver a very chilled out smooth experience that blends R&B and Smooth Jazz. There is also the pleasant surprise "Great Soul." A very unique track that delivers a mix of jazz, hip hop, and Bollywood Indian grooves (produced by Chris Marshak) The guitar style on this tune is reminiscent of John Mayer. There is the emotional "Gratitude" that brings an unforgettable melody. Don't forget about the very funky Uptown that features funkmaster Kenny Harris on bass.

01. How Ya Like Me Now
02. I Will be with you
