Concert for the Gods
This unforgettable concert of two took place 1,500 meters above sea level, in the shadow of myth. Behind the performers loomed the Cave of Zeus, the legendary birthplace of the god himself—where, according to ancient lore, Zeus was hidden as an infant to escape his father, who devoured all his children to keep his throne.
One of the musicians was a renowned artist in Crete, George Xylouris from Anogia, a mountain village in Crete known for its deep musical roots. He was joined by Australian drummer Jim White, in a collaboration that bridged continents through rhythm and tradition.
Cretan music is known for its fiery pace and raw emotion—qualities that found a natural partner in the driving, intuitive style of White’s drumming. The result was something transcendent: a night of music beneath the stars, where ancient stories, modern sounds, and the pulse of the mountains came together in harmony.
