Carmelo Siciliano

For years, I’ve been exploring, studying, and sharing my passion for Greek music and culture. My work focuses on preserving and sharing the diverse musical traditions of Greece in all their richness and complexity—not as a generic “universal language”, but as a unique expression deeply rooted in the history, geography, and identity of its people.
