Lyra Records (Greece)
Please note!
Most of our CDs have been imported from Europe or Asia. They are not all shrink-wrapped, and I am not going to con you by wrapping them here just to make you think they have been sterilized in America. I guarantee that the CDs and the contents are all brand new and in perfect condition. Whenever I can, I use recycled shipping materials. They may not look as pretty on the outside, but they save money and keep the trash dumps a little bit emptier.
Thanks- Cliff, cdRoots

Virgin Maries of the World - Savina Yannatou
$temp out of stock-19.99

Traditional Greek Lullabies - Kypourgos and Yannatou
$temp out of stock-19.99
(cdRoots# res-greek-lullaby)
The idea for an album compilation of lullabies was from composer Nikos Kypourgos and coincided with his daughter`s birth. Most of these traditional songs have been preserved in various archives. The fact that Kypourgos did not have any recorded material at his disposal provided an alibi to treat the songs more freely. This final compilation is performed by a group of excellent musicians complemented by the unique voice of Savina Yannatou. The real secret of Lullabies is that they can actually touch and appeal to grown-ups just as much as children.
Ifantokosmos - Kristi Stassinopoulou

$temp out of stock-19.99
(cdRoots# res-diaph)
The Greek master of mystery and mood is back with his 2007 release. Once again, echoes of Leonard Cohen, Jim Morrisson and Tom Waits are coupled with radical new ideas for the use of Greek traditional and modern musical forms,and once again, he is astounding. Highly recommended
