Story Behind The Song
Thermopylae, the pass where a few hundred Spartans held off an army of thousands of invading Persians until betrayal by a local shepherd showed them a way around. Their subsequent slaughter nonetheless allowed reinforcements to arrive and eventually repel Xerxes' army. Note: This is a live recording made in Africa with African musicians. While spirited and heartfelt, re-recording may be a desirable option.
