Today’s menu includes folk songs about sailors by huge names such as Stelios Kazantzidis, Poly Panou, Giorgos Margaritis and Vicky Mosholiou. Some of them are songs of melancholy, farewell and contemplation. Others are songs of joy. One way or another, the density with which the theme of seamen and seafaring appears in Greek song shows just how important this profession is not only for the Greek economy, but also for Greek culture and the society as a whole.
