Pentaichon is an ethnic-folk band that studies, researches and plays all types of greek, traditional music. Pentaichon is a compound word from 'penta', which means 'five' (5), and 'ichos' or 'echo' which means 'sound'. In that way, the meaning of our name is the complex of five different sounds into one. By the sweet sound of the violin, the lute and the santur, the wild sound of the wind instruments (gaida, clarinet, tsambouna etc) and the dynamic rhythm of the greek percussions (davul, darbuka, bendir etc) we use our music knowledge in order to improvise with our virtuosity. We are a company of musicians that perform greek traditional music in a very new way. A mix of ethnic, folk and jazzy sound is the identity of our music. Pentaichon's members : Aggeliki Pardali ~ Vocals, Greek Santur Harry Lygkos ~ Vocals, Violin Panos Skouteris ~ Vocals, Wind-Instruments (Clarinet, Bagpipes, Flutes) Panagiotis Stathakis ~ Vocals, Lute Kostas Karamesios ~ Vocals, Percussions (Davul, Darbuka)
