Flamenco Odyssey - Christos Tzifakis - Audio CD (Arrives in 50 days)

Flamenco Odyssey is an album by Christos Tzifakis, released in 2022. The album is a classical CD.

Athens-born Christos Tzifakis has performed internationally as a solo classical guitarist and composed widely for solo guitar, flamenco-jazz groups and for the theatre. Flamenco Odyssey is one of his major works in which he allows the listener to experience flamenco from the vantage point of a traveller immersed in the timbres and flavours of both Eastern and Western cultures. The rhythms of the bulería, soleá and fandango offer intoxication as do improvisations on ancient Cretan songs. There are also darker, more melancholic impulses, while the festive nature of this wide-ranging and exhilarating work draws on blues-rock influences.

The great Cuban composer Leo Brouwer wrote of Christos Tzifakis: ‘Pay attention to Christos Tzifakis… His talent is supported by a remarkable technique… this young man plays with twenty fingers.’
