George Hintirakis and the Region of Crete present a musical tribute to the great folk singer Stelios Kazantzidis, on Friday 19 July at the Nikos Kazantzakis Garden Theatre in Heraklion.
This event has a special feature...
the explanation of the "Kazantzides" phenomenon.
40 years since he "left" and his songs are at the top of the preferences of even young people. His "voice" has grafted generations and his performances are unrepeatable.
Theodorakis, Hadjidakis, Leonti, Markopoulos, Loizos and other important composers have expressed words of admiration for his enormous contribution to our folk song.
A thoughtful performance for the leading Greek folk singer.
Texts, video projections and songs from the career of our great performer.
