Local Stranger

Interpreter: Alkinoos Ioannidis
Label: Wrasse
Location: Greece/Cyprus

The twelfth solo album, and the first to be internationally available, from this Greek sing-songwriter. Touching upon recent as well as past Greek history, the tone is, perhaps unsurprisingly, somewhat melancholy as a result. Some fine playing, in particular from clarinetist Mano Achalinotopoulos.
