Αγάπη, Τσίπουρο, Μπουζούκι & Roll went psychedelic! That’s right Dear Listeners, we are about to land in the planet of Greek Progressive Rock. This musical genre initiated in the United Kingdom during the mid 60s. It flourished between the creation of the first synthesizers and a period of great political turmoil. It brought Rock music to its apex of creativity, and laid roots for Jazz Fusion and Electronic music to develop. The movement spread a bit all around Europe, and of course Greece was no exception, despite being under the censorship of a military government! In this musical adventure, participate renowed figures, such as Vangelis, Demis Roussos, Mariza Koch, Savvopoulos, Pavlos Sidiropoulos, and Panoussis. To guide us into the experimental landscapes of Greek Progressive Rock, we will count with Απόστολος Θεοφανίδης!
