Trio Bel Canto's latest album, Sing The Latest Hit Songs From Greece, is a delightful and engaging collection of traditional Greek music. The trio's beautiful harmonies and expert musicianship are on full display throughout the album, as they breathe new life into classic songs like "Zorba's Dance" and "Misirlou."
The album is a showcase of the trio's versatility, with upbeat dance tunes like "Never on Sunday" and "Theodorakis" sitting comfortably alongside more introspective pieces like "The Girl from Ipanema" and "Besame Mucho." The arrangements are tasteful and respectful of the original songs, but also inject a fresh energy and vitality into the music.
One of the standout tracks on the album is "Sirtaki Dance," which features a lively and infectious rhythm that is impossible not to tap your feet to. It's a perfect example of the trio's ability to capture the essence of Greek music and make it accessible and enjoyable for a wider audience.
