about

MOZAIK recorded this 3rd album outside Budapest during the month of September 2015. This time we had a beautiful traditional singer Chrysoula Kechagioglou as a guest and she brought the warm wind and colour of her native Greece into the band for this album. Andy and Bruce also take lead vocals and the instrumental tracks composed by Dónal and Nikola (with the magnificent voice of Ágnes Herczku) are all on this album.

It has taken more than four years for this album to come to fruition but here it is at last and that’s about the long and the short of it!
