The renowned musicians,performers, and educators Eirini Derempei and Karolos Kouklakis join Themis Rodamitis for an in-depth conversation about their remarkable musical journey.

The program highlights traditional festivals, the documentation of rare material by both past and present musicians, and the enduring efforts of artists who continue to create significant works despite the challenges of the times. The guests also delve into their discography and explore the Mediterranean, the Aegean, and Asia Minor as sources of inspiration. They share insights into beauty, fear, wonder, tenderness, the magic of silence, storytelling, light, and the unique atmosphere of Cretan nights.
