Γ.ΖΩΓΡΑΦΟΣ - Τα τραγούδια του Νέου Κύματος (G. Zografos-New Wave Songs, Greek Folk 70’s)

After the rock and folk revolution all around Europe, a new music scene appears in Greece. It is called the new wave (νέο κύμα in Greek), and it refers to songs that have never been heard till these days in 60’s and 70’s. The lyrics have something from British acid folk and are a little obscurd and the instruments used are guitar and maybe bouzouki also. Simple acid folk songs, without a lot of instruments or difficult melodies for the listener to get. It seems like Dylan and Baez have spread their way of playing all around the world! Poetry comes into music too, although this was not something new for Greece, we knew it. These songs are presented in small taverns in Plaka (we call them Buat (Μπουάτ)), and no microphones are been used.
G. Zografos is a master of the Greek New Wave. He is singing with his guitar only (or bouzouki sometimes), and it is clear that a new music scene in Greece has been built. Savopoulos and George Romanos (do u know the progressive rock album "Two little blue horses" ?) are also New Wavers of this period.
This is no rock, jazz, blues, or soul music. It is folk greek music with a lot of English/ American musical influences. I don’t know if you gonna like it, but for Greece this was a golden music period. This is what our parents have described to us about “Plaka” place in 60’s and 70’s. Listen careful «Άκρη δεν έχει ο ουρανός» and you will get why this reminds me of acid. "Αλλού χορεύει η χαρά" is in the same mood.

Request : I am looking for G. Romanos record (Μπαλάντες (Ballads)) if anyone has it feel free to upload it for me!

Just get it!
