Permanent eroticism is more important than a love affair that ends, after which something else begins. Eroticism is everywhere, even in a look. In me, music prevails – that’s why I put everything I feel into my songs, that’s why I transfer eroticism to those who listen to these songs. People come and say to me: ‘Mr. Spanos, we fell in love with your songs, we got married with your songs’. With these songs, I have contributed to ... Read more

Giannis Poulopoulos sings immigration songs The songs of today’s GME are mostly taken from the album “The songs of foreign lands”, which was released in 1976. This unjustifiably forgotten collection was composed by Giorgos Katsaros, written by Dimitris Iatropoulos and performed by Giannis Poulopoulos. Ο Γιάννης Πουλόπουλος στα «Τραγούδια της Ξενιτιάς» Μια σημαντική δουλειά από το μακρινό 1976, με τη βελούδινη φωνή του Πουλόπουλου, τους εμπνευσμένους στίχους του Ιατρόπουλου και τις στιβαρές μελωδίες του Κατσαρού, που δεν ακούστηκε σχεδόν καθόλου. Πάντως, με το συνεχιζόμενο δράμα της προσφυγιάς και της μετανάστευσης να ξεδιπλώνεται σήμερα, διατηρεί όλη τα διαχρονικότητά της.
