BACKGROUND
The theme that links all these songs is exile, displacement, loss of homeland. Geographically I've narrowed this down to the Mediterranean, so we have the Greeks uprooted from Asia Minor in the 1st track, the original version of the classic Algerian song of exile as the 2nd track and finally a track from the Ladino singer Yasmin Levy, the sephardic tradition mixing here with Andalucian flamenco. Her album is released here on 16th May.
