Con'tylia - Meraklis / Μερακλής

Con'tylia Live Studio Recording 1 - Meraklis / Μερακλής 1933 Instrumental in 9/8 by Spyros Peristeris Con’tylia were born in the winter of 2023, in the kitchen of 1243 Argyle Street, Glasgow. While we were singing along to Vamvakaris, we had the idea to book our first gig and play Greek music to a foreign crowd, which led us to our firs on t intimate performance at Tchai Ovna. Ever since that moment, we have had the good fortune of sharing our music in venues and festivals across Scotland. This project has shaped us as musicians and allowed us to explore the musical roots of our country, Greece, along with the surrounding traditions. This album wouldn’t have been possible without the people of Glasgow’s vibrant music scene, who have supported our journey and embraced our sound. You make dancing, laughing, crying, and sighing on Scottish dancefloors a joy. A special thank you to Nicky, Chloe, Orpheas, Filippos, and all of our friends who contributed to this album and helped us reach this moment.
