Today, we will be introducing ourselves to the exciting ideas and songs of Greece’s most explicitly political lyricist, who was born exactly 72 years ago, on September 16, 1953. His vision? “Singing is not about expressing yourself individually. When you write, you cannot start with your own experience. It is wrong. You start writing with what you see around you, with what you are a recipient of, and you must try to express it accurately without being individualistic”. Today, we wish Costas Tripolitis happy birthday with a panorama of his rock and art song masterpieces, replete with powerful social messages and images. Tania Tsanaklidou, Lakis Papadopoulos, Giorgos Dalaras, Lizetta Nikolaou, Christianna and Dimitra Galani are some of the voices that appear in today’s track list.
