Nikos Xidakis & Manolis Rasoulis - I Ekdikisi Tis Gyftias (1978) (@320)

Manolis Rasoulis, a unique Greek lyricist, passed away recently. A deliberate outcast, he always expressed himself in a direct and at the same time poetic (but not in its cheap form) way, he paved a new way for the Greek folk by handling a new ethos and meaning to it.
Today's upload, gives the chance to the 90% of the visitors of this blog (i.e. to the visitors outside Greece) to discover one of the best samples of Greek music, far away from the horrible, cheesy touristic covers of Zorba. As for the remaining 10%, a replay of this album will make us realise that Rasoulis is irreplaceable. Enjoy.
