"An absolute gem of real, proper-job ensemble rembetika ... The playing is uniformly exciting, superbly directed by Nikos Protopapas, to a standard which would rival any top jazz players, while as lively and uninhibited as you'll hear in any living tradition. But the best instrument of all is Katerina's voice: expressive, heartfelt, flexible, smoothly negotiating all the dynamic decoration inherent in the West-meets-East historic roots of classic rembetika ... If this isn't one of the best new old-school rembetika records you'll encounter this decade I'd be very surprised".
