Vasilis Kostas: The Soul of Epirus: Music From Northwestern Greece




Vasilis Kostas, originally from Epirus, Greece, is a standout player of the laouto - lute. His collaborative album with clarinet virtuoso Petroloukas Halkias, The Soul of Epirus, received great reviews. He also explores Greek traditions in Boston-based Pharos Ensemble, and channels his other musical love, jazz, as a member of Global Messengers, the multicultural outfit led by pianist Danilo Pérez. Tune in to hear - and hear about - the music. Plus Vasilis spins a guest-DJ set!

Here's the album The Soul of Epirus by Vasilis Kostas and Petroloukas Halkias: https://thesoulofepirus.bandcamp.com/album/the-soul-of-epirus/

    Immigration Equality is the leading LGBTQ immigrant rights organization in the country. It provide s advice and legal services to thousands of LGBTQ and HIV-positive immigrants seeking refuge, fair treatment, and freedom in the United States.

    Rob W:

    For the first time I can ever remember we were able to join a protest here in Hoboken just by stepping out our door. I can't remember a significant protest march about a national issue in Hoboken, certainly not in our neighborhood. That tells us the significance of this moment, the possibility that this could be a real time of change - it gives me goosebumps thinking about it to be honest.
    Avatar 6:39pm
    TDK60:

    Very Good. A few oldsters like me but mainly young adults, mainly Latino and Black, thru Washington Heights. I'm tired but glad! No trouble from the cops. As soon as we stepped off to march we got /drenched/ for about 5 minutes. But that helped us feel cool later when the Sun came back.

    @chresti: Just a late response to this… “Ah, sounds like kids having fun, maybe..” 100% utterly no. There are definitely people in the WFMU audience who complain and harass DJs for saying anything remotely political. In the case of the last show there were exactly two people persistently don’t that.

    The reason I feel the need to clear that up is stuff like that is never “kids” just goofing around. It is a real listener being really entitled.

    Now, back to the show.

    @TDK60: I told the protestors at the march you went to and they went out of their way to avoid any Jim Morrison discussion to avoid any issues.

    Seriously, happy you went out there to see things for yourself. Are there still public garbage cans out on the street near you and the march area?

    They removed garbage cans in Brooklyn as deep as Gravesend I believe. Like anyone would go out there to riot for any reason.

    Ray was just working that mojo for a little supply.

    Ray, but Charles Lloyd was also making racket as well. It was September 1972, the premier of The Grand Wazoo.

    Wayne Shorter—nice. This quartet of his with Danilo, Patitucci, and Brian Blade is the best.

    TDK,yeah. They were really good. A real big noise.

    Got to see Shorter at a free outdoor concert at Columbia U. Great.

    Wayne Shorter, yeah! I saw Weather Report in 1974 at The Santa Monica Civic. They were so loud! Louder that any rock band for sure.

    Tigran Hamasyan is awesome. His new album will be released in July, I think. I've already pre-ordered it.
    He also did a live stream from his home a week or so ago.

    TDK,of course! I saw their baptism of fire when they opened for Public Image at the Olympic Auditorium. Their first show outside East L.A.

    Los Lobos tours a LOT in California, pre COVID anyway.

    I think there were two Doors albums after Morrison. I've never heard them. I think the remaining guys split the vocals?

    Thanks Rob & Vasilis! Great show!
    Avatar Swag For Life Member 8:56pm
    McGroovey:

    I just realized my Doors post was sitting in the little box unposted since whoever it was mentioned the Doors.

    Great show,, Rob!
    Avatar Swag For Life Member 8:57pm
    McGroovey:

    And it turns out I have those two post-Morrison Doors albums, but I've never listened to them.

    The struggle is real.
