Vasilis Papakonstantinou, born June 21, 1950, is a Greek singer known mostly for his work in rock. Most of his songs have gained considerable popularity, mainly in Greece and Cyprus. Vasilis Papakonstantinou was born in Vasta, Arcadia. In 1957 he moved to Athens along with his family. His adolescence was marked by the musical and social trends of the 1960s: Mikis Theodorakis, protest rock, international peace movement, the struggle for democracy. Vasilis Papakonstantinou became a follower of the left without ever becoming a member of a left-wing party. Today, we are listening to his political post-1974 songs by composers such as Theodorakis, Manos Loizos and Thomas Bakalakos.
