sokratisspyrou Mixing rock with clarino . And singing old greek songs. Nothing else to add. Just perfect! Favorite track: St. Triad.

Ioannis Valiakos All instruments can get you emotional, but only clarino can truly make you cry. Wait for it in "Perdikomata" and when it comes in, you will feel wings grow on your back. RIZA is roots and this album is all about roots. A majestic album and a glorious flip of the bird to those that did not believe that Ipirotika songs can groove your brains out! Have someone translate to you what people are saying on the final song "Riza" and then you will know where this album comes from. Landmark album! Favorite track: Perdikomata.
