“Our Town” features a heartfelt conversation with the beloved and authentic folk composer, lyricist, and singer Vangelis Korakakis.
In an in-depth discussion with host Themis Rodamitis, Vangelis Korakakis reflects on significant moments from his remarkable journey, his roots in Kaisariani, and the rich history of Greek folk music.
He delves into the legacy of bouzouki virtuosos (such as Chiotis, Papadopoulos, Palaiologou, and Tsomidis) and legendary rebetiko composers (like Vamvakaris, Tsitsanis, and Papaioannou), sharing stories and insights about this cherished genre.
Korakakis also highlights the talents of the new generation of musicians, with a special mention of his son Vasilis, a gifted bouzouki soloist, and discusses his collaborations with acclaimed artists like George Dalaras and Dimitris Mitropanos.
The show features iconic songs from Korakakis’s career, as well as live performances in the studio by the artist himself.
