Gypsy Greek Classical – NSW
Gypsy Greek Classical – NSW (Code – 256A)
Our music would best be described as Classical-Gypsy-Greek alternative. We are all acoustic. We have been doing Shows for The Greek Festival Of Sydney and after May are looking at playing more festivals as well as gigging as much as possible.
There is also an element of performance to our shows with an actor performing a Dramatic Monologue between songs.
The Book Of Vilah is a story told in dialog, music and painting. The inspiration for the performance is drawn from the rich history of the island Kythera during the times of the infamous pirate ‘Barbarossa’ Vilah, the bastard son Barbarossa, tells his story from a Jail Cell after wrongly being imprisoned for his lover’s murder. With his mind now free he is able to explore the depths of his emotion and immortalise them on canvas. With a moving performance by Alex and original, live, music written by Valerios The Book Of Vilah embodies that of the classic tragedy in an innovative and gripping manner.
