The Flowers That See

Flowers have been silent witnesses to acts of sacrifice since the dawn of time. In mournful songs, medieval ballads, and folk beliefs, eternal roses are born from tales of love and blood. From Narcissus and the roses of the Middle Ages to poppies (which symbolize remembrance for World War I, among other things), flowers shape, inspire, and lead us to new stories of our own through the stories they witness. From folk songs to medieval legends, flowers appear where sacrifice leaves an indelible mark on memory.

The Alcedo Folk Band guides us through a sound and narrative journey, where folk tradition meets contemporary musical creation. The Greek and European civilizations are bridged with precious elements from folk poetry, mythology, and medieval tradition.
