ATHENA
Category: Music Sunday 22 January 2006 - £12.50 adv / £15 door – 7pm - 12 Womad star Athena plays a contemporary fusion of Greek and English songs, mixed with jazz, traditional & world music. “People talking about Athena Andreadis use words like ‘enchanting, ‘beguiling’ and ‘breathtaking’. Totally devoted to her art, she has combined an early passion for the traditional songs and poetry of her native Greece with elements of jazz, contemporary, classical and world music, evolving a songwriting style that is unmistakably her own. Her exceptional voice is as suited to the ethereal yearning of ancient laments as it is to moody, free improvisation or upbeat dance tunes. Her own songs, in both English and Greek, are powerfully moving, inspiringly evocative and engaging, as is her stage presence.” Athena – vocals Werner Kristiansen – guitar Tom Mason – double bass http://www.athenaandreadis.com/ permanent link | email this article

Read and you will feel the very pulse of a community as it fights to maintain its unique and vibrant culture.
