Three Concerts dedicated to one of the most important Greeks of the 20th century, Manos Hadjidakis, 15 years after the death of the great composer.
The concerts that will take place in Larnaca, Nicosia and Limassol are entitled "The market of Manos". Kostas Hatzis is the main performer, and he will sing in his own unique way a wide range of songs by Manos Hadjidakis. Eleni Peta and George Perris will also participate, while the singers will be accompanied by an 8 member band under the direction of Vassos Argyrides.
Manos Hadjidakis (October 23, 1925 – June 15, 1994) was an Academy Award-winning Greek composer. He was born in Xanthi, Greece. In 1960 he received an Academy Award for Best Original Song for his song "Never on Sunday" from the film of the same name. He is widely popular among Greeks and can be credited with the introduction of bouzouki music into mainstream culture.
