Greek Nights & Friends, 13 March 2011

A short video recording of the opening number to the special Greek Nights & Friends music and dance extravaganza at the Domain Wintergardens, Auckland Domain, on Sunday, 13 March 2011.

Greek Nights (the trio) was joined by special friends in this showcase of Greek music and dance at its best, featuring instruments rarely used in New Zealand such as bouzouki, baglama and mandolin.

This recording is simply with a hand-held digital still cam, but provides a good indication of the wonderful atmosphere at the Domain Wintergardens

Musicians:

Christina Daniela (vocals, percussion)
Theo Simeonidis (vocals, mandolin)
David Daniela (guitar, bouzouki, violin)
Nigel Gavin (guitar, mandolin)
Alex Theodoridis (guitar, baglama, vocals)
Henrieta Tornyai (double bass)
Yair Katz (percussion)

@HarryLaos Yeah it was a great concert, wonderful full sound. Had full video recording and soundtrack of the concert which is being edited into a DVD of the concert. No doubt this will prove to be a fertile source of some You Tune numbers!! Stay well brother!
