Northern Pulse | Petar Ralchev & Thanos Stavridis

REEDBLOCKS VI (Thessaloniki Accordion Festival)
Petar Ralchev & Thanos Stavridis
23 September 2024
"Petar Ralchev is the most influential accordionist in Bulgarian folk music, who particularly resonates with the younger generation of musicians throughout the Balkans.
Ralchev comes to Thessaloniki meeting for the first time Thanos Stavridis, the most important representative of the new generation in Greece. The two virtuosos of Balkan music explore the boundaries between tradition, improvisation and experimentation, causing rhythmical explosions and unprecedented melodic blends."
