Xronia Polla kai Kala Manoli Lidaki!

New Album: Manolis Lidakis & Stavros Xarchakos - V' Anagnosi (ΜΑΝΩΛΗΣ ΛΙΔΑΚΗΣ & ΣΤΑΥΡΟΣ ΞΑΡΧΑΚΟΣ - Β ΑΝΑΓΝΩΣΗ)

The year 2012 leaves with such good news for the admirers of Manolis Lidakis. 

A few days ago, ogdoo.gr has broadcasted a song from the upcoming new album of Manolis Lidakis, for the first time. It was "Geia sou hara sou Venetia". 

The album, V' Anagnosi has just been released with the label of Universal Music Greece. Our beloved artist sings 12 of the marvellous songs composed by Stavros Xarchakos, In this album, you can hear the rebellious tunes of rebetiko, the romantic melodies of jazz, the broken-hearted laikos and much more... What is more, Lidakis' voice adds more to the meaning of all. There are 2 songs from the soundtrack album of worldwide-famous film Rebetiko whose music belongs to Xarchakos himself. These new interpretations will remind much from the nostalgia to you, to be honest. Personally, I was surprised to find out that To Dihty is in this album, as it was exciting to imagine how nice Lidakis' voice would go with this song, and it's more beautiful than expected. 

There will be much more comment here about the album in the following days. But first, here is the track list: 


  1. Γιατι κυλαει ο καιρος (Giati kylaei o kairos) 
  2. Νυν και αει (Nyn kai aei)
