Con'tylia

The voices of Con'tylia, accompanied by the strings of a Cretan laouto, guitar, hand drums, and clarinet, aim to explore the wonders of Greek folk music, ranging from ambient ballads to Greek mainland and island dances, bringing the storytelling of Greek music to Scotland's stages. Rooted in decades of Greek tradition, Minor Asian scales, and unique rhythms, this five-piece ensemble sings solos, duets, and quartets to create polyphonic vocal harmonies exploring the intricacies of the East Mediterranean region. With their bold arrangements and infectious energy, Con'tylia are carving out a unique place in Glasgow's music scene, one memorable performance at a time. Recently released their debut album "Con'tylia Live Studio Recording"
