LUTE: NIKOS STRATAKIS

"Against time" the  record company "Aerakis-Cretan Musical Workshop & Seistron" faithful to its appointment brings us to the fourth personal album of Dimitris Vakakis.

Dimitris Vakakis beyond the undoubted virtuosity is for many in the space of our music a "magister" of orchestration, revealing at every step the enormous potential that can have our music when you combine studying with imagination. With the first hearing the album, our music Dimitris prefigures a "fan" unrolling it as the light of the East, taking as a starting and fighting the fight of his life.

Companion and a key factor in this project is Nikos Stratakis, who was the participation leads us to see that these two restless musicians characters 'snap' perfectly between them, since they can 'talk' and call us the "musical spirits."

From all this work could not miss the robust and essential lyrics, which is a radicular traditional and part his. Generally verses sign three talented songwriters: George Raptakis, Mania Messaritaki and Andreas Stylianoudakis.

Finally, we should mention that this album over the course of time will surely open more musical horizons of music and not only, as it has many elements for consideration and discussion ....
