Since saturday, I've been listening to Miroloi-Yigidim Aslanim on Youtube in every occasion. Since it was first written, this song has been in the repertoire of many distinguished singers such as Maria del mar Bonet, Maria Farandouri, Joan Baez etc but HIS singing was extraordinary. I know this song for more than maybe 20-25 years but I was like listening to it for the first time... HIS version was deeply touching. This version of Miroloi was the highlight of this saturday and I'm still under its influence! S Gursu

Istanbul was waiting for such a concert by Dalaras, for sure! In the last 12 months this was his 3rd concert in Turkey but this one was really exceptional. It was windy but as the concert beginned there was nothing left of the windy air. Cemil Topuzlu Theater has 3972 normal and 150 protocol seats and it was almost full. Dalaras came to the theatre at 17:45. The concert started at 21:10. Dalaras said that they have been singing these songs all across Europe with his 'Gang-Family' (These were the words he used) but this city was the most suitable place. He was very joyful and seemed to be full of energy. I think he did his best and he also enjoyed the concert. He played the guitar, the bouzuki and also the bouzukaki. There were photos displayed on the back of the stage and some of them were from ogdoo.gr. Most of these photos were not related to the songs played. After the last song he came on stage twice more. In the last time he was alone and played a very nice bouzouki solo in the beginning of San ton Metanasti. One remarkable note from the concert was that Aspasia Stratigou seemed to be watching the concert on the giant screens placed next to the stage and her face was turned to her right most of the time thus she couldn't respond Dalaras' reactions during the concert. The news about the concert in Turkish newspapers (Hurriyet, Milliyet, Vatan etc. ) mostly focuses on his joy, the audience's pleasure and his playing various instruments. Shortly, it was a great concert. I feel as if he loves singing in this city and does his best here. I'm happy I was lucky to be there. S GURSU PS: It was also a very big pleasure to see good friends like Anna and Sofia

It was another magical night! HE was great as always and in the mood! Okan Bayulgen was replaced by Zuhal Olcay, a famous actress. As it was the opening concert of 53rd International Bursa Festival, there were some speeches before the concert. The mayor, the governor, head of the organising committee... The event started at 21:50. They performed 15 songs. It was a wonderful night and worth driving to Bursa and back to Istanbul for 6-7 hours.

R.I.P. Angelopoulos! He has been to Turkey many times and was highly appreciated as an extraordinary director by many people here. In February, he would visit Istanbul once more and meet his admirers again. This unfortunate accident, didn't let it happen... S Gursu
