“There haven’t been a lot of Greek singers making a dent in the U.S., but Kristi Stassinopoulou could bridge the language divide…/…The translated lyrics read like haiku, but sung in Greek, they sound like a call to the spirits. Co-composer/producer Stathis Kalyviotis frames the artist’s songs with arrangements that have a very 21st-century folk-music sound…”

Whilrpools
Come dance with me in the dark
come stroll with me in the cave of Ades
and if you hear the sirens scream at night
it’s my heart’s whirlpools that sigh
Spread on the beach burning coals
and the drunken stars dive in the waters
Dizzy sleepwalkers come near the fire
with bare feet they moan and sigh
Waves come and go wildly
they crash on the shore
waking up the pebbles
who sing me a song
My naked body
adorned with seaweed
and scented with saltness
is given to you
