Hamilton Saint Posted 2 September, 2021 Share Posted 2 September, 2021 R.I.P. Mikis Theodorakis, the great Greek musician and composer, known best outside his homeland as the composer of music for the film Zorba the Greek. He also did the film score for Z, directed by Costa-Gavras. Theodorakis was a life-long opponent of the fascists in Greece. His music was banned during the dictatorship of the Greek colonels (1967-74) and he was arrested and spent some months in jail. Mikis Theodorakis wrote mostly serious music, but he was also known for writing lots of popular songs. https://www.bbc.com/news/world-europe-58419832 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hamilton Saint Posted 2 September, 2021 Author Share Posted 2 September, 2021 (edited) Here is one of Theodorakis' most beloved popular songs. It is called Perigiali--the lyrics written by Greek poet Giorgos Seferis. This version is sung by long-time Theodorakis collaborator Maria Fantouri. Some beautiful images accompany the song, which is about the seashore. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=SoGdeg2K81c Edited 2 September, 2021 by Hamilton Saint Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
