An Evening with Belafonte/Mouskouri

I love the cymbal work on this great little Greek tune called Dream, from the album “An Evening with Belafonte/Mouskouri” (1966).

Belafonte first performed with Mouskouri in Burlington, Vermont in 1964 during his first college tour. Belafonte used his usual stable of musicians, including guitarist Ernie Calabria, bassist John Cartwright, and percussionist Ralph MacDonald, while Mouskouri was accompanied by bouzouki player George Petsilas. The songs are sung in Greek with Mouskouri’s naturally coming off as more authentic. Most of the tunes were written by the prolific Greek songwriter Manos Hadjidakis, writer of “Never on Sunday.” ~ Cary Ginell, All Music Guide
