Pangeo

About Me

Christos Govetas and Ruth Hunter started Pangeo in 1997 and now have guitarist/oud player Kane Mathis on board, along with percussionist Will Dowd, both of Seattle. Pangeo plays Greek, and Balkan music, stretching from the ultra-traditional, regional sounds of Greece and Albania to the more modern sounds of Roma (Gypsy) music from all over the Balkans. Hey, go check out our NEW CD!!! at www.cdbaby.com/pangeo2 I edited my profile with Thomas' Myspace Editor V4.4
