about

After six years of full-time touring all over the U.S., Canada and Europe, meeting other musicians and gathering tunes all along the way, by 1992 Helicon’s repertoire was all over the map, and their focus as a group had shifted to finding a common ground in traditional folk music from around the world. Horizons, their third CD, presents the broadest range of repertoire for the trio of any of their recordings, including tunes from Greece, Macedonia, Romania, Finland, Sweden, Peru, Argentina and Brazil, along with Irish reels and American fiddle tunes. While Helicon made no pretense of true authenticity in their explorations of such diverse traditions, the group always attempted to capture the spirit of the music. This one is Helicon at its most eclectic.
