Her multicultural, Greek-Swedish origins align well with artistic choices that move fluidly across borders and genres. Our destination: The international repertoire of Korina Legaki. Η διεθνής Κορίνα Λεγάκη Σήμερα, το αφιέρωμα μας στην κοσμοπολίτικη διάσταση του ελληνικού τραγουδιού μάς οδηγεί σε μια τραγουδίστρια νεότερης γενιάς, την οποία πραγματικά θαυμάζω για τη σαφήνεια και τη λιτότητα των ερμηνειών της. Η πολυπολιτισμική, ελληνο-σουηδική καταγωγή της ευθυγραμμίζεται με καλλιτεχνικές επιλογές της που ... Read more
