With Vicky Karatzoglou,
Vyron Tsourapis & the Noble Vagabonds
Nikos Portokaloglou, one of the country's top musicians and songwriters, is once again organizing a musical performance this summer, featuring his most beloved songs and daring combinations of iconic Greek and foreign songs, in the unique style he showcased on his TV show, "Musical Box." Having completed the fourth and final season of "Musical Box," the beloved TV show he created for ERT1, Nikos Portokaloglou is dedicating himself to the new multi-collaborative album he has been working on for a long time. The precursor to the album is his duet with Ioulia Karapataki titled "Den yparchei allos dromos" ("There is no other way"). A fresh and dynamic song that uniquely combines Nikos Portokaloglou's bouzouki with Balkan brass and reggae rhythms.
Joining him is Vicky Karatzoglou, one of the newer recognizable authentic folk voices, who has already carved a distinct path in the Greek music scene. "Psichoula" ("Crumbs") is the title of her new song, with music by Themis Karamouratidis and lyrics by Gerasimos Evangelatos. A song that urges us to experience love to the fullest without half-measures. Vyron Tsourapis, a faithful companion of Nikos Portokaloglou in his live performances over the last few years, has become widely known through "Musical Box" as a member of the show's band. Completing the team is Nikos Portokaloglou's colorful and dynamic band, the "Noble Vagabonds."
