Launch of the album Protanixin, by Stella Papalamprou, featuring Giorgos Vergos

The singer, arranger and lyricist Stella Papalamprou is producing a series of recordings rooted in the cultural landscape from which her music emerges: Grevena, where Epirote traditions, Macedonian elements, Vlach/Aromanian influences and the pastoral repertoires of the Pindus mountains converge. At the same time, her music also incorporates instruments and sonic elements connected to Pontic culture, reflecting the historical presence of Pontic communities in Greek Macedonia. All the pieces are traditional and sung in the Pontic dialect of Greek.

In the album, Stella is accompanied by Giorgos Vergos, who plays tulum (Pontic bagpipe) and Pontic lyra and by the davul of Nikos Fillipides.

Protanixin will be published on 24th of September in the online platforms.
