A few words about the great composer
Markos Vamvakaris had a natural talent as a musical creator, an authentic relationship with his material, with himself and with the social environment. He had great love and dedication to what he did. True, tender, but also hard, songs of pain and misery but at the same time redemptive, like all true works of Art.
