Filled with sensitivity and romanticism, the light song of the 1940s and the 1950s informed much of Kilaidonis’ creativity. And naturally, he returned to it as a producer and arranger, contributing to the revival of genres such as “archontorebetiko” – a blend of light and folk themes.

In other words, Greek song is an open and welcoming art form. As its raw material, it has never hesitated to dra...
