'Hidden trails, full of history, lost in the depth of the aeons.

Hidden trails that bear witness to Cretan resistance against enslavement.

Hidden trails trodden as much by locals as by allies so that Crete remains free as it is today.

Hidden trails where the memory of the Cretan struggle has remained for ever, as a reminder for the price for freedom. For all to know and recognize the sacrifice of a people who refuse to succumb and surrender.'

In Hidden Trails, Maria Manousaki invokes images of traditional Cretan Folk melodies into which she weaves bursts of modern jazz with middle eastern elements.
