Watersong - Savina Yannatou (2025)

This has been a wonderful find this month.

You can get a lot more about this record here, and I won’t just repeat it.

The gist is that Yannatou and her collaborators have built a theme album curated around the theme of “water”, including traditional material from all over the Mediterranean as well as other parts of the world.

It’s all hypnotic and beautiful and keeps you listening.
