Aksak Portraits CD

Creative music from the Balkans! Aksak's creativity falls within the scope of Balkan traditions. The musicians in the band have managed to renew this musical language, irreversibly. They have a rare ability to synthesize, and it has enabled them to bring a musical expression out of its context and transcend its formal and functional aspects, drawing out its universal dimension.
