Varka by Dafné Kritharas
Born in 1992 in Paris of a Greek father and a French mother, Dafné Kritharas draws her inspiration from the convergence of cultures that cohabited for four centuries under the Ottoman Empire: Greek, Sephardic, Bosnian, Armenian, Turkish songs...
Her second album, Varka, brings together musicians from different backgrounds and gives a new lease of life to these forgotten songs.
