ABOUT HARPER | XYLOURI
Maria-Christina Harper and Niki Xylouris craft a mystical musical realm where the rich tapestry of Greek tradition is reimagined with a bold and contemporary twist. Their collaboration seamlessly intertwines elements of jazz and avant-garde, creating a musical dialogue that explores the profound concept of transformation through the dual forces of sonic creation and destruction.
Xylouris' distinctive voice, her evocative percussion, and the deep, resonant tones of her baritone Cretan lyre weave together with the experimental, electrifying performance of Maria-Christina on her electric harp. This sonic fusion is further enriched by Giorgos Koutras, whose mastery of the electric and 12-string guitar adds yet another layer to this intricate soundscape. Together, the three musicians blend their instruments and diverse musical influences, offering a multifaceted approach to tradition that results in a sound entirely their own—innovative, resonant, and unmistakably distinct.
