CHANIA – The 4th Cretan World Music Festival takes place on July 19 at the Kapsomenos Foundation. The event is organized by talented world jazz violinist and festival founder Maria Manousaki who spoke to The National Herald. She noted the festival’s “very beautiful location on a hill in the village Alikianos 10 kilometers outside of the city of Chania, Crete.”
Based in New York, with roots from Chania, Manousaki said, “The festival each year features 3 different bands. A very exciting collaboration of world-renowned musicians coming together from all over the globe to perform in Crete. The music, a combination of Armenian and Cretan melodies amalgamated into a New York jazz ambiance with dominant Mediterranean influences.”
This year’s artists are Cretan Jazz Project, Haig Yazdjian and his group, and Vasilis Skoulas and his group.
