RIZITUALS is an extatic female musical ritual inspired from the Rizitika songs of western Crete.

Rizitikο is an ancient Cretan vocal tradition, a musical treasure basically unknown in Europe and the world ! In this album we create new musical rituals inspired by this tradition.

Within RIZITUALS, we seek for the identity of the modern woman : inspired by the past, by traditions and archetypes but looking towards the future, she creates new musical rituals with unparalleled female power !
