ALBERT - "VISIONARY WORLD "
Muse.gr is proud to announce a new album by Albert Panagiotopoulos.
The name of the album is : Albert - "Visionary World".
Albert is an Athens based drummer with extensive musical studies in the US ("The Collective" of New York) and a career with a two decade span as a session musician and a writer. He has also taught modern drumming techniques in various music schools in the greater Athens area. His book entitled "Complete Drum Method" was pulished in 2001 by "F.Nakas" one of the most prestigious music publishing companies in Greece. Albert is the representative of "The Collective" in Greece and a featured columnist for the "Soundmaker" magazine.
All the selections on this album are composed and arranged by Albert. This particular work contains glimpses of the Mediterranean, the Middle Eastern culture, the Balkans, the Greek folk music, the Blues and the Afro Cuban heritage. It's a musical panorama, an amazing journey through many parts of the globe.
The musicians appearing on the album are also top notch and have contributed to amalgamate the numerous musical currents into a unified whole. Some of the contributing musicians are: Vassilis Rakopoulos (classical guitar), Antonis Ladopoulos (saxes), Yiotis Kiourtsoglou (electric bass), Alex Orfanos (piano), Manos Theodosakis (trumpet), Yiannis Zevgolis (violin).
The resulting music is a chant for global peace and harmony...
