Viktor Mastoridis - The Journey Vol. 4 : Calm

Calm is the fourth and last album (Vol. 4) in the project called THE JOURNEY: World of Music Quatrology. These four albums form a musical/spiritual journey, exploring four different stages (Longing, Restless, Bursting and Calm) and as many distinctive musical expressions and moods, all rooted in the Mediterranean World Fusion Music. Vol. 4, Calm is a pretty meditative album, with instrumentals mainly featuring the Macedonian Tamboura and Acoustic Guitars. There is one song there, a Macedonian Traditional, arranged in a more modern way.
