Thanks Martha! The site is very informative. My next step will be to buy one of his cd's!

Ok, now I learned too that Santana is a great musician! But what style of music is he playing? Is he a singer or a composer?

Thank you Anna! I don't know any of them, apart from sting.

In the greek version. The one where Ntalaras sings with a group of people in a live concert.

IF YOU LOOK AT THE PHOTOS OF THE SITE, AND GO TO THE FOTOS WITH NTALARAS AND OTHERS FOREIGN MUSICIANS, DOESN ANYBODY KNOW WHO ARE THE MUSICIANS IN THE PHOTO NUMBER 6?

Who is Carlo Santana Franz?

Francois opinion about Ntalaras and Xatzidakis is understandable in a way, but personally I dont agree. In my opinion, maybe the greatest advantage of Ntalaras as a singer is that he can sing a rembetiko and a rock song with the same success. He has this unique skill to change his style of singing according to the image of each song. Francois, maybe you are influenced because Ntalaras doesnt sing Hatzidakis that much. Because if you say that Ntalaras voice doesnt fit to Hatzidakis songs, then you mean that Ntalaras voice doesnt fit to baland songs, and this is wrong. And as Geeske mentioned, "San palio cinema" is an amazing example.

Christo, I have listended to "Η ΜΠΑΛΑΝΤΑ ΤΩΝ ΑΙΣΘΗΣΕΩΝ ΚΑΙ ΤΩΝ ΠΑΡΑΙΣΘΗΣΕΩΝ" by Vasilis Lekkas. I agree with you, it doesnt sound good at all to me. Actually it is not extreme to say that because Ntalaras is so great, whoever tries to sing his songs wont sound very good. If the person is another great singer ( like Farantouri, Mouschouri, Alexiou etc) I personally say "thats very good" but I always prefer the Ntalaras version. There is no explanation for that, I think Ntalaras gives life to the songs.

Christo, which singers try to sing Dalaras material? Are they famous?

Great news!!! I have to go there!!

What I know Geeske is that when Sting came in Athens to give a concert this summer, Ntalaras came on stage (as surprise) and they sang live together the "I am mad about you".

How could I know that they sang together? Only if I was there! But I wasnt. What is missing though, is a cd of their concerts.

At this period I am listening very often to a recent cd of Alkinoos Ioannidis ( live concert). I find the songs great and his voice unique and I wish once to see him on stage with Ntalaras! Another singer that I am listening to this period, is Yannis Kotsiras. Again his songs are great, very simple and very original,( i am not sure if he writes the songs) and again I wish to see Ntalaras and Kotsiras taking their guitars (as simple as that) and start singing together.

Ok, sas efcharisto kai tous dyo!
