Vasilis Skoulas visits “Our Town” | 16 Feb. 2025, 12:00

On Sunday, February 16, 2025, from 12:00 to 14:00 Athens time, the show Our Town will host Vasilis Skoulas.

The renowned lyra player and singer of the Cretan tradition, joining us in the studio, will talk about his family roots, which played a significant role in his musical journey. He will share stories about his homeland, Anogeia, and the local people who inspire him and with whom he forms deep connections. He will also pay tribute to his predecessors (Moutakis, Skordalos, Xylouris), who helped establish Crete as a cultural pillar of the Mediterranean.

Vasilis Skoulas will discuss his collaborations in the recording industry, including composers and musicians, as well as his connection with younger generations, with whom he maintains an ongoing open dialogue. The conversation will touch on humor, companionship, composure, and the challenges posed by the fast pace of modern life.

Joining him in the studio will be young musician and singer Eleni Tornesaki, a close collaborator of Vasilis Skoulas. The show will highlight his special relationship with the Greek diaspora, whom he meets in many cities worldwide, performing for them and maintaining a warm and lasting bond. His television appearances, including his role in Sasmos, as well as his participation in major cultural events, will also be discussed.

Vasilis Skoulas runs a warm and welcoming music venue in Anogeia—the renowned Ntellina tavern.

The show will feature some of the most emblematic songs of his career.
