My Brother and I grew up in a splendid environment of traditional Greek music. 'Psyche and Soma', represents a continuous project that connects our music roots with our experimental work in extending the musical possibilities of the Pontic lyra. The project includes contemporary repertory for both the voice of Konstantinos and the Pontic lyra and 'blends' the sounds of different world music cultures into a melting pot of creative and expressive sounds. The 'Tsahouridis Bros musical duet' for piano and Pontic lyra, is a unique and imaginative project worth experiencing.

The Pontic lyra is the instrument that expresses my deeply felt devotion and respect for the music that I love and serve. Please follow youtube for more pontic videos.
