About "Despina"
Despina is a melody influenced by Arabic Maqam music. However it sits on a rather jazzy groove. After the statement of the melody comes a franticly built up piano solo, bringing us back to the melody. It was performed by myself on the bass, along with Leo Genovese on the piano, Dimitris Klonis on the drums and Christos Sagient and Yiannis Moutsakis on the percussion.
