An hymn in Rebetico style. In the words of the great Manos Hadjidakis, an expression of love, joy and sorrow. Quite typical of Greek music.

Today Greece and Europe lost one of its most significant musicians.
Mikis Theodorakis, whose life needs a trilogy on the big screen just as a brief summary.

Do you guys remember Missy Elliott? I didn't know she released new music, well maybe its not that new

Today Greece and Europe lost one of its most significant musicians.
Mikis Theodorakis, whose life needs a trilogy on the big screen just as a brief summary.

Truly, a loss, his music for Z , Zorba and Serpico were really great.

 

[Gane]

Who are the greatest vocalists of your country/language?

From male vocalists, we've been blessed with a lot of choices but it's up to genres and not that many transcended into the global scene as much.

From female vocalists on the other hand, we've been extremely lucky to have a list that includes:

Maria Callas, one of the most unique sopranos, La Divina as she was called:

The celestial voice of Nana Mouskouri:

And we share Luxembourg's 1972 Eurovision winner Vicky Leandros with the Germans, here in a duet of a classic modern Greek song with Nana:

There is a number of other great female singers of course with great domestic success across all genres but I think these three stand out, along with the great Elena Souliotis, Savina Yiannatou and Agnes Baltsa who unfortunately are not as appreciated in Greece as they should be.

Nana is my favorite of them all, even if Callas is by far the #1. I cannot imagine a human being not liking Nana's music but I get that many may be turned off by the operatic music of Callas, Souliotis etc.

And I just love this performance here:
