Having reinforced her reputation as a vocalist of Baroque, rebirth, and early music, Savina Yannatou has increasingly veered toward van idle words and improvisational music. Accompanied by her striation, Primavera en Salonico, which she formed in 1993, Yannatou continues to march her mastery of Mediterranean medicine. Her repertory includes songs from Sardinia, Corsica, Israel, Turkey, Italy, Cyprus, Albania, Spain, Africa, South American, the Caribbean, and her mother country in Greece. RootsWorld described her as "a isaac M. Singer of astounding reach, superb vocal controller, and complete musical scholarship," spell web.cityofwomen-a.si claimed that "like a tightrope walker, she elegantly dances on the rope connecting the modal music of the Orient with eq music from the West, mediaeval song and Mediterranean polyphonies." Having naturalized her reputation in classic music, Yannatou began to expand her horizons in 1993 when she formed Primavera en Salonico. The grouping -- which focuses on a integrate of European classic, Byzantine, traditional Greek, and Near Eastern music -- creates a world music reasoned with a combination of Western instruments (guitar, fiddle and doubled freshwater bass) and Eastern instruments, including toumbeleki, bendir, tambourine, daoul, kanonaki, nay, and tamboura. A year after climax together, Yannatou and Primavera en Salonico recorded an album of Sephardic folk songs of the Balkan area.
