Sunday afternoon on Panormos beach
The last three weeks, on a Wednesday, I have been watching a new music program on the state television Ert. It is called the music box/Το Μουσικό Κουτί.
The show is hosted by Nikos Portokaloglou; famous singer/songwriter and Rena Morfi; singer/actress. They invite two or three singers/musicians each time who at first glance don’t have anything in common, they may be from different music backgrounds but in the couple of hours that you hear them play and sing you find out that their musical paths have crossed in one way or another and that they can make beautiful music together. The combinations are fantastic. The choice of musical instruments and the performances give the well know Greek and foreign songs a new coat. Wonderful to hear and see. A must for Greek music lovers.
Big heaps of sand were dumped in the area below the Panajitsa tou Pirgos church. That is why you had to remove your vehicles…
Thank you for sharing that wonderful music and there water at Panormas, so so clear x
Thank you Daphne – that’s a great listen. If anyone needs a reminder of a more familiar musician try https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tt0PhtYBiUo (filmed in the Museum of Greek Folk Musical instruments in Athens – well worth a visit).
I think what I’ve missed most during lockdown is live music, especially this magical bouzouki player (and his wonderful food).
Take care all.
