Balothizer - Anogeia (Official Audio)

Balothizer - Anogeia - Cretan Music from Hell

New album Cretan Smash - available November 13 2020

Anogeia owes its reputation to the incredible lineage of musicians and poets: Aerakis, Stravos, the Xylouris Family, Gyalaftis, amongst many more. Their contribution to Cretan music has defined a specific style of the island's cultural music.

Lyrics:
I walked on the mountain and climbed its peak
But I found the source to drink water at its lowlands

that he is the one who flies as high as he can reach
if it is to rest he will sit low
(Aristidis Heretis aka Gyalaftis)

Πορπάτηξα το το βουνό και στην κορφή του βγήκα
Μα τη πηγή να πιω νερό στα χαμηλά τη βρήκα

Οτι 'ναι 'κείνο που πετά όσο ψηλά κι αν φτάξει
Αν πει πως θα ξεκουραστεί στα χαμηλά θα κάτσει
(Γυαλαφτης)
