"Santorini" captures the exotic music of Avram Pengas' NOGA GROUP, a staple of New York's downtown music scene for nearly twenty years.
The breathtaking and sultry strains of the bouzouki, guitar, oud, and clarinet, supported by dazzling percussion and bass combine to create a rich musical palette of the entire Mediterranean region.
Pulsating Greek and Turkish rhythms, Israeli pop, sinuous Arabic melodies, Latin beats, Armenian dance sounds -- all synthesized in a dynamic, improvisational style that recalls American jazz.
The arrangements are creative and progressive -- the recording made for listening as much as dancing.
The vibe is fresh and innovative -- jazzy, modern, infectious, and kinetic.
