Aroma by Eleanna Pitsikaki

“Aroma” is my debut album – a nostalgic journey through memory, capturing the sensations and recollections that define and accompany us. Each note revives deeply etched experiences and unfolds emotions, like the scent of a mother, moments of solitude, and bittersweet partings.

Inspired by Crete, the Balkans, and jazz, my music expresses these indelible sensations, transforming them into sounds that speak to the heart.
“Aroma” is an emotional journey – a musical experience that I hope will touch you and carry you away.

It mirrors my own path: from Crete, where I was born and raised, to Germany, where I studied (World Music | Popakademie Mannheim – Jazz Improvisation | Cologne University of Music), to the present day, where I live and work exclusively as a musician.

Eleanna Pitsikaki is a Qanun virtuoso, composer, educator, lecturer music mediator and researcher from Crete, Greece.
