On Monday, October 21, the program “Our Town” will present the second part of the tribute to the Portraits of Rebetiko Creators.
Guest: Manolis Dimitrianakis, who will talk about the iconic singer of the classical Rebetiko era, Stratos. Many have said that he had “nests of nightingales in his throat.”
Stratos was a member of the famous “Tetralogy of Piraeus” and uniquely interpreted the songs of Markos and others.
Regarding Giovan Tsahous (Giannis Eitsiridis), Dimitrianakis will describe him as a significant personality, a virtuoso who played many instruments (piano, violin, tzouras, saz, oud, bouzouki, baglamas, tamboura), whose melodies will remain immortal.
Special stories about the fascinating lives of these artists will be shared, along with references to the Piraeus hangouts, their important collaborations, recordings, relationships with other creators, and the interesting yet challenging aspects of their lives.
In the studio, musician and radio producer Elena Falirea, along with Dimitrianakis, will perform characteristic songs live for the listeners of Voice of Greece.
