DESCRIPTION:Demo_Deux – Spyridoula Baka\n\n\nOn 17/8 a musical performance is unfolded by Demo_Deux\, a duo in a constantly music search. The excellent voice of Spyridoula Baka is accompanied by Anastasis Sarakatsanos on the piano\, while collaborating with them Dimitris Varelopoulos on guitar & lute and Petros Lampridis on bass. Backed by the considerable musical knowledge and studies\, they explore the musical traditions assimilating new sounds in their music and “talk” with their audience dragging it on their musical journey in timeless favorite Greek songs\, as well as melodies from the Balkans\, the Mediterranean\, Europe and the international cinema.. \nSpyridoula Baka\,vocals\nAnastasis Sarakatsanos\,piano-vocals\nDimitris Varelopoulos\,guitar-lute-vocals\nPetros Lampridis\,bass\n\nDemo_Deux\n\nDemo_Deux are Anastasis Sarakatsanos (piano) and Spyridoula Baka (vocals).

In the next 5-6 years\, Demo_Deux weaved melodies into a repertoire that stretches across Eastern and Western Europe\, from Greece to the Balkans\, passing into the Mediterranean. Only one motif to the choice of a song: that it will be able to “speak” to the heart of the audience.

SUMMARY:Marios Strofalis Quartet
DESCRIPTION:Marios Strofalis Quartet\n\nThe festival’s musical journey begins on 4/8 with the musical performance «European Taxim» by the quartet of Marios Strofalis\, an award-winning soundtrack composer\, with a large discography\, whose music we have heard in many films\, television series and theatrical performances\, while his tango compositions achieve\, year after year\, international acceptance. His quartet is a musical ensemble with intense cinematic and southern European stigma\, that this year has a ten-year continuous presence in music halls\, theaters and concert halls. Its members are Marios Strofalis (piano)\, Vangelis Vergotis (accordion)\, Alfredo Shtuni (violin) and Alexandros Mpotinis (violoncello). The European Taxim is a nostalgic tour in cultural ports of the people of southern Europe and the Mediterranean\, where classical forms are “married” with favorite dances\, such as the Mediterranean tango\, Smyrna bolero\, nuevo tango\, Aegean ballos\, nouvelle jazz francaise\, Andalusian ballad\, flamenco\, tarantella and the lyrical Mediterranean waltz.\n\nMarios Strofalis\, piano\nVangelis Vergotis\, accordion\nAlfredo Shtuni\, violin\nAlexandros Mpotinis\, violoncello
