Greek Music Express: Immigration songs – G. Markopoulos | 11.07.2023

‘Immigrants’ by Giannis Markopoulos

The 1974 album “Immigrants”, composed by Giannis Markopoulos and written by George Skourtis, defined an entire era of Greek song, when it was replete with social and political messages. Markopoulos described the album as “A cycle of songs, a bitter tribute by the composer to the people who left their homeland to find a better life and became workers in the foreign industrial centres of the advanced countries of the world”.

Οι Μετανάστες του Μαρκόπουλου

«Θέμα: Κύκλος τραγουδιών, πικρό αφιέρωμα του συνθέτη, στους ανθρώπους, κυρίως των περιφερειών, που άφησαν την πατρίδα τους για να βρουν μια καλύτερη ζωή, και έγιναν εργάτες στα ξένα βιομηχανικά κέντρα των προηγμένων χωρών του κόσμου».
