Alfred Music Vahid Matejkos Shanty Play-Alongs für Querflöte

Shanties are once again enjoying great popularity. Especially the reissue of "The Wellerman" by Nathan Evans has contributed to this. The sea shanties, which were used for work purposes as well as entertainment, radiate a special energy, conveying to listeners the deprived and yearning times at sea and providing a good insight into the work and life of seafarers.

With Shanty Play-Alongs Vahid Matejkos, musician and producer, presents a music book with instrumental backing tracks for flute. The transverse flute enriches numerous musical genres with its gentle, traditional tones and is also an excellent instrument for folk music. Thus it comes into its own particularly well in shanty. At the same time, the pieces arranged here have the most diverse echoes, which make the edition a versatile work. Through elements of rock, Latin, funk, Big Band to orchestral and Caribbean influences, each song has its own unique appeal. The titles are each available as a full version as well as a half-playback, all recorded by professional musicians.
