After five years of absence, new age artist Yanni is back with a CD called “Ethnicity.”
It is worthy of a listen.
“Ethnicity” is a wonderful and exciting mixture of strong beat, crisp vocals, musical energy and ethnic flavors.
The CD has 12 new songs that include a traditional Greek folk song and a new vocal version of “Almost a Whisper.”
It includes a DVD of Yanni’s recent concert at London’s Royal Albert Hall.
The concert includes old songs such as “Within Attraction,” “Aria” and “Desire,” as well as some new songs.
The Royal Albert Hall concert is almost as good as the “Live at the Acropolis” concert, which was held at the Acropolis theater in Athens and broadcast on television. The Royal Albert Hall event is somewhat short.
While Yanni has kept fans waiting for this release for five years, the quality of music on “Ethnicity” was worth that wait.
