NIKOS PORTOKALOGLOU

An homage to the global sounds of music
Nikos Portokaloglou is a Greek composer, guitarist and singer that has defined the country’s rock music scene with his work. During his 35 years we have partnered in creating numerous visuals for his music.

In this double album, he picked out his favorite songs from the East and transformed them by adding instrumental sounds, lines and colors of the West. This is his own way of paying tribute to the world of music by harmonically combining Tsitsani with Jimi Hendrix, the Jovan Tsaous with The Beatles, Panagiotis Tounta with Johnny Cash, the oriental long-drawn out love songs called “amanedes” with slide guitars of the West.
