Editorial Reviews Simon McCarty (percussion), Dimitris Kakos (bass) Nikos Tourbis (drums and percussion) and Carl Dexter (guitar, contrabass and weird effects) form the nucleus around Sohre, with guest musicians, Jim McCarty (The Yardbirds - percussion) and Karen Gheorghiu (Mothers of Invention - English horn) showcased on several cuts. Hurdy gurdy, cello, saz, various world percussion instruments and natural sound effects, such as the popular market in Thessaloniki or thermal hot springs in Langadas are also woven into the selections.
Makria
Bill Adler, Adler & Robin Books, Oct 2000
"...strong world music influences... lovely lush voice... original... lyrics are poetic, ethereal, and make you wonder about the world."
Neile Graham, Ectophiles Guide to Good Music, Oct 2000
"... hard one to pin down as far as description goes... full of interesting vocals, percussion, accordion, and unpredictable songs."
Album Description
Makria is Greek for "far and beyond". Much of the alblum was recorded in Thessaloniki, Greece and London, U.K., weaving Middle Eastern melodies and African rhythms around Sohre's playful blend of eclecticism. She speaks through a myriad of instruments: guitar, piano, accordion, flute, clarinet, harmonium, organ, percussion and vocals, while also sprinkling natural sound effects into some of the themes, inviting you to go on a visual journey through exotic scenery before returning home to an intimate and personal final song.
