An evening of international folk music from Greek Glasgow based 5 piece Con'tylia & featuring support from Brazilian singer/songwriter Giulia Drummond who is based in Edinburgh.
Con'tylia
The voices of Con’tylia, accompanied by the strings of a Cretan laouto, guitars and hand drums, aim to explore the wonders of Greek folk music ranging from ambient and passionate ballads to Greek island dances, delving into decades of Greek Trad, Minor Asian scales and unique rhythms, merging them with a touch of jazz vocals and improvisations. Con’tylia sing solos, duets and quartets, to create polyphonic melodies and vocal interactions, with rhythms and melodies that resemble no others.
