Today I woke up by listening the amazing traditional music of Crete (once again!). I just want to share the following video which comes from an old (1930s) recording of a cretan lyra player (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cretan_lyra). The person is called "Rodinos" and has still a great influence to many players in Crete. Even though he died really young he managed to record one album. I don't know how someone can describe the feelings that he/she gets from these melodies. The combination of scales from the east/ the fretless instrument (lyra) in combination with the repeatance of specific melodies "demands" you to just listen to the music and do nothing else.
By the way I regard that this song and generally cretan music can be translated to a metal/rock version (as it includes scales like the Phrygian mode which creates a sinister sound) and a combination of these two genres would be unique.
Enjoy!
