about

“The Crossing” is the second single to emerge from the forthcoming Blend Mishkin & Roots Evolution album “Unity of Opposites” and it features the talented Kanun soloist Panos Dimitrakopoulos.

When Zoe Prokopiou introduces “The Crossing” with her lonely, mystical solo, we must keep in mind that people identify Blend Mishkin and Roots Evolution with reggae music. To hear Zoe’s musical statement, we know that this band is fully committed to a new vision. We accept that and at 0:39 what do we hear? The kanun played by no less than the virtuoso Panos Dimitrakopoulos. The kanun has its roots in ancient Assyria but here it is joining the modern percussions of General Sticks and the brass of Bassment Rats and Stelios Michas Englezos. And just when we least expect it at 1:28 we hear—my, my: sweet reggae music. Blend Mishkin does not shake us out of our dream; he moves us gently, without transition, to another musical space. The arrangement and the band’s constraint ensure we hear how all of this works together. After a while, electronic dub pipes in; we see how the band has accepted so many far-flung influences.
