GIANNIS SOPASIS - VROUVOGIANNIS / STIGMES MOU (MY MOMENTS)
LUTE: NEKTARIOS KONTOGIANNIS, PERCUSSIONS: GIANNIS LOUKAKIS
PARTICIPATION AGGELIKI SOPASI VARDIAMPASI

I thank God for giving me this divine gift called life, no matter how much it costs. I also thank him for the special gift he made to me on my earthly journey, to be born in Crete and to live the grace and the greatness of Orthodoxy and, at the same time, the Cretan tradition. I thank and forgive my parents, who are no longer alive, and they brought me to the soul, the flame of traditional music and, at the same time, orthodoxy in the most passionate way but not only.
With love and respect, I dedicate the sounds and messages that this work contains to all my fellow humans. In particular, I dedicate it to the memory of those who offered racing, were executed by various conquerors and sacrificed for the liberation of our country. Also to those who were sacrificed and continue to be sacrificed and offer in favor of orthodoxy and human pain.
I was born and raised on the northern foothills of Psiloritis and I continue to live in the historic village called Livadia with an official existence of seven hundred years, which is certified by the holy temple of the Virgin Mary, which is also built in the 13th century AD and is depicted on the inside of the cd. I come from the first families who lived in the village and are called "Sopasides".
Thanks for taking part in my record call:
Nektarios Kontogiannis, Yannis Loukakis and my sister Angeliki, in two songs. Thanks also to "studio Alpha" by Yannis Zamboulakis and Nikos Kefalogiannis for our excellent collaboration in this recording.

Good Hearing!
