Mikis was more than a musician; he was an intellectual, a political leader, an artist of protest and resistance, a figure that was larger than life and that identified himself with the inner soul of the country and its people. With this episode, we conclude our week-long tribute by turning to some relatively recent studio and live recordings of his songs by prominent Greek vocalists. From Gerasimos Andreatos to Despina Rafail and from Kalliope Vetta to Giannis Dionysiou, these are the artists and the songs that keep Theodorakis’ aesthetic and socio-political message alive.
