Songs Of Thessaloniki from Greek singer Savina Yannatou is a dazzling evocation of her band’s hometown, plunging deep into its rich and complex history. Once known colloquially as the Jerusalem of the Balkans, Thessaloniki has been home to a host of cultures, religions and ethnic communities. Greeks, Jews, Turks, Bulgarians, Serbs, Armenians, Slav-Macedonians and Pontiac Greeks have shared the city’s diverse life. Yannatou gives all of them a voice, even casting an Irish song about Salonika into this multilingual programme on which she shines as a unique interpreter and spokesperson for the city’s ghosts. She is accompanied by Primavera en Salonico, one of the most resourceful bands of any idiom, as they negotiate the inspired and very varied arrangements of Kostas Vomvolos.
