Give a chance to something that you never heard yet and you will never hear again. Feel the energy from these great really great Greek artists that puts the Greek music to an other level beyond our imagination (at list mine)!
Giannis Aggelakas is a Greek singer, songwriter and poet. He maintains a productive solo career since 2000 having experimented with Greek Folk Music and collaborated with lots of artist. In my opinion his music is from an other planet make me believe that there is still hope in Greek music. Giannis Aggelakas really cant make bad music. Everything is above average! Here i will give his whole new album. Enjoy
Xylouris plays the lute as a solo instrument, in contrast to the traditional accompaniment role the lute has in Cretan music. Normally in an ensemble the laouto provides the rhythmic backing to the lyra. In this role Giorgos is peerless. In the less usual role of lead instrument he has made the laouto a melodic instrument to frame and adorn song. Xylouris has performed extensively both in his native Crete, in his second home Australia, and internationally at world music festivals, collaborating with musicians from both folk and rocktraditions. This is Greek Metal people !
