Primavera en Salonico

**Primavera en Salonico** is a unique musical ensemble led by the renowned Greek singer Savina Yannatou. Formed in 1993, the band is known for blending traditional folk music with modern influences, creating a rich soundscape of Mediterranean music. Under the musical direction of Kostas Vomvolos, Primavera en Salonico explores a wide range of musical styles, from European classical and Byzantine music to traditional Greek and Near Eastern sounds. They incorporate both Western instruments like guitar, violin, and double bass, and Eastern instruments such as toumbeleki and kanonaki.

Primavera en Salonico has released several notable albums, including **Primavera en Salonico**, **Songs of the Mediterranean**, **Virgin Maries of the World**, **Terra Nostra**, and **Songs of an Other**. The group's music often showcases Savina Yannatou's experimental vocal techniques, such as throat singing and glossolalia, while highlighting the diverse musical traditions of the Mediterranean region. Primavera en Salonico has performed at numerous world music festivals and prestigious venues across Europe, the U.S., Israel, and Taiwan.
