Sardinian Dance: Savina Yannatou with Primera en Salonico and "Ballo Sardo"



Savina Yannatou and Primera en Salonico bring us today's random song, called Ballo Sardo. Savina Yannatou is a renowned Greek singer who has teamed up with Greek jazz and traditional musicians Primavera en Salonico to explore Sephardic and Mediterreanean music. They have since expanded to include music from around the world. Starting out with classical guitar lessons, Yannatou began studying singing and later completed postgraduate studies at the Guildhall School of Music and Drama in London. Her repertoire is mainly Greek music, though she has also made forays into free jazz and avant-garde. She also is a songwriter and composer for theater, dance and video. Ballo Sardo can be found on their 1998 album Songs of the Mediterranean, and on their 2001 album Terra Nostra.
