A Musical Journey Through Greek Rock with Kostas Giannakopoulos | 31 Aug. 2024, 13:00

From the 1960s to today, the show will delve into the songs that transformed the Greek rock scene. We’ll explore how English lyrics evolved into Greek and vice versa, and how these lyrics reflect the social and cultural realities of each decade in Greece.

Produced and presented by Marilena Katsimi, journalist
Broadcast: Saturday, August 31, 2024, 13:00-14:00 Athens time
