The history of humanity is a history of exiles. Millions of human beings have been led violently, by force or voluntarily into exile for political, religious or national reasons or simply in search of a better life. Exile is a state of the body, but also a state of mind. Kyriakos Kalaitzidis, composer, ud master, artistic director of En Chordais and one of the most important musicians and scholars in the field of Mediterranean music, was born into a family of exiles. His music for the homonymous project is an attractive blending of east and west, with a very special musicality as a common denominator. Using a wide range of instruments he has achieved a musical result with a very rich timbre, both sensitive and intelligent.
