Today, we are celebrating a key figure of the art of Karagiozis, the famous shadow puppet character of Greek folklore. Evgenios Spatharis, who was born on this day, January 2, 1924, was the most prominent shadow theatre artist in Greece. And this is the perfect opportunity for us to turn to Karagiozis as a motif in some fascinating Greek songs. Our destination: Karagiozis in Greek song, in memory of Evgenios Spatharis.
