Michalis Kouloumis – Displaced Dreams

Inspired and moved by images of people displaced from their homelands, Michalis – a child of Cypriot refugees himself – created the music for his new album, Displaced Dreams. It explores our shared humanity in a time of enormous political upheaval, and brings together music of the east (with instruments such as the oud, ney, lute and baglama) and music of the west (with string ensemble, drum set, and double bass). – Indiegogo.com
