Greek Audiophile - Documentary Video

The best voice in Greek music is that of the late ,great unsurpassed Stellios Kazantzidis.We lost him a few years ago to lung cancer.His nick name was in Greek "O Theos" meaning "God' a name reflecting his voice.His duo with lady singer Marinella gave us some unforgetable songs
Others that are exceptional are Panos Gavalas,Kaiti Grey,Mary Linda,Poly Panou,Vicky Mosholiou,Tolis Voskopoulos,Giannis Poulopoulos,Giannis Kalantzis,Stratos Dionysiou,Grigoris Bithikotsis,Spyros Zagoreos,Stamatis Kokkotas,Litsa Diamandi and others that slip my mind at the moment.
Also I need to mention the two Pillars as we call them of Greek music of Rembetiko or Greek Blues style and that's
Vasilis Tsitsanis and Markos Vamvakaris.
This is the music I grew up with and the reason I entered this hobby of ours.
A big "Yia sou" to all the Greek audiophiles out there.

My wife sat through the whole thing, mainly because she is 100% Greek. At the end of the film she kissed me on the head and thanked me for not being that crazy. Well worth the time.

I know that Gregm live in Greece. Waiting to read his comments! :-)

Hi Bombay: Busted! I have actually met some of these people, and listened to their systems. However, I think the film is more than a display of systems.

I actually found this little film moving in certain ways. Nicely made; the editing, the music and images blended quite nicely. And the hobbyist nature came out well.

And this is important. After all, and despite everything, there is passion in this hobby; it's time a little bit of our own passion came out in the open -- not as "Oh you guys are crazy" -- but simply as "you guys are really into something, just like other people are into s/thing else". "And it's fascinating", because it is after all.

As s/one said in the film, "other people buy Mercs, I buy hi-end gear... For me they are crazy". Why not?

BTW, a few of the systems are not only expensive -- they are superlative (sonic=wise).

Cheers.
