Robin Bullock (guitar, cittern and fiddle)
When Robin Bullock is asked to name his favorite Helicon CD, he invariably picks this one. This recording represented Helicon's growing interest in a repertoire well beyond the boundaries of Celtic and American traditional music preceding the rise of "World music" as a genre. Helicon has never claimed to sound "authentic" when playing the music of other cultures. However, the trio was very successful in bringing less familiar music to Western audiences. This CD was originally recorded on Turquoise Records and then re-released on Dorian.
