On this episode of “Voices and Music”, Vangelis Machairas and Babis Velissarios presented their new album, «Από τη γειτονιά των αγγέλων στις γειτονιές του κόσμου».
Created in tribute to the centenary of Mikis Theodorakis’ birth, the album is the result of a collaboration between Machairas — as producer and arranger — and Velissarios, who interprets the works with depth and clarity.
It features ten songs and one instrumental piece by Theodorakis, with lyrics and poetry by Michalis Ganas, Nikos Gatsos, Akos Daskalopoulos, Odysseas Elytis, Dimitris Christodoulou, Yiannis Theodorakis, and Theodorakis himself.
With a minimal, Doric approach to the sound, Machairas and Velissarios breathe new life into these timeless works, inviting us on a journey through the poetic and political landscapes that shaped the composer’s legacy.
Produced and presented by Alexis Kostas
