Amor Latino & Janet Kapuya | Caminos de Tango
Caminos de Tango is a story that begins on the streets of Buenos Aires and as long as love is alive, it will not end ...
It is then, that the songs of a wandering singer, talking about dreams, depression, war, sorrow, the need for communication, hope ... and the moment comes that all this becomes a hug, a movement, a dance.
Friends, old friends, travelers to unexpected stories of dark streets and cabarets wander in the magical world of tango, where anything can happen.
The imagination and the frenzy offer their colors to this magical voice that transforms everything around it, like in the paintings of Miro ...

MONIKA LIVE
Monika & 11 piece band
The story of Monika began in Patra, where σhe became involved with the independent scene in the city. She began writing songs and playing guitar, accordion, piano, saxophone, etc., initially participating in the group of her brother, the Serpentine, and at times friendly groups of the city.
Very soon she began to play her own songs and the reputation of her talent circulated in Patras and in Athens, where through sporadic appearances, she built the image of a girl who, at first post-teenage years, sang with the power of a seasoned performer and who wrote songs unheard before at a similar level.

Ways of the Sea
Known as the Greek Gershwin, Mimis Plessas music has been celebrated throughout his illustrious career in film, theatre, opera, concerto suites, radio, and television.
The Ways of the Sea refers directly or indirectly to the sea. Longing, the distances the prayers, the dreams, the loneliness, the camaraderie, the wisdom, love, death, lack of contact, proximity of humans. ... All these find their rightful place and their perfect background to the endless sea.
One of the greatest legends of Greek music in Ikaria for 2nd time in Icarus Festival.
