Savina Yannatou

In her fifth album Watersong, released under the ECM label, Savina Yannatou embarks on a musical exploration of water by way of song, together with Primavera en Salonico, whom she has been collaborating continuously for 32 years, and vocalist Lamia Bedioui from Tunisia. The songs performed in a variety of languages pass on traditions and myths about water in relation to life and death, to desire and purification, to fertility and magic. While the Arabic language and the Bedouin dialect intersect with the languages of Mediterranean Europe and elsewhere, and songs coming from many compass points and historical epochs intertwine, Primavera en Salonico creates a unique musical approach balancing the traditional aspect with playful arrangements and free improvisation. Multicultural in their musical passions, and daring in their stylistic juxtapositions, Savina Yannatou & Primavera en Salonico with Lamia Bedioui will be at Zorlu PSM Turkcell Platinum Stage on October 11.
