But it was his passion for vocals chorus in all their forms (60’s pop, church chorus and baroque music) that turned Evripidis music into a much more ambitious project. Marisol (Eleva, Elevator), Nora González, Odil and Annie (How dare you) were recruited for doo-wop duites, while violinist Cristina de Sola, bassist Aleix Clavera (Extraperlo), and drummer Jaume Ribell (Epic Kind) build upon Evripidis’ songs to create a formation in which each component shines individually and collectively.
