This week, here at GME, is dedicated to probably the most original, inventive and indeed modern lyricist of Greek song, whose birthday we shall be celebrating on June 30. Starting with her collaboration with composer Stamatis Kraounakis, Lina Nikolakopoulou brought about a revolution in Greek song with her distinct style and groundbreaking use of words. The folk vein, however, was not lost for a moment: Moscholiou, Alexiou, Mitropanos, Lidakis, Diamanti, Makedonas, Sarris and so many other voices confirm the coexistence of renewal and the folk muse within this peculiar poetic universe.
