There are, on the big stages established in nature, based on the model of the legendary Woodstock, with the loudspeakers playing loudly and “the kids with the hair and the black clothes” enjoying the music on its own terms, Dionysis Savvopoulos , remembered again. ,that rock music has no age and that good songs can inspire,excite and entertain for years after their creation.
Moreover,Savvopoulos himself was at the forefront of musical revolutions.He was the one who put a pioneering sound into the Greek song, which was afraid to “marry” rock music with light, conventional and popular lyrics, and interventions, full of strong socio-political messages.This is also the reason why his songs have been identified with vital moments in recent Greek history, earning, at the same time as their value, the greatest praise from the past and being the main source of inspiration for new generations creators.
From the iconic “Ball“and the horrible”Zeibekiko” which was indelibly marked by the interpretation of Sotiria Bellou and by “Nebula“and the”Seascape“up to Dionysus”Let the dances continue” and “Like karagiozis“, Dionysis Savvopoulos is a great and unique school of Greek singing.
And he seems to be interested, mainly, in recent years, in the contact he had with the new generation, both artists and listeners. He encourages young musicians to “mirror” his songs – a recent example being his cover Marina Satti in “Zeibekiko” – to give them their own measure, in their time and not treat them like a museum item.
All these years, Dionysis Savvopoulos was never a serious advocate.On the one hand was his sharp thinking and his always composed speech and on the other hand that lively ageless child he hides inside as he tries to cause mischief. And know that they will argue about it. And perhaps this inexplicable disposition to “stimulate”, to go beyond the limits of formality, creating reactions, positive or even negative, is the secret of an evergreen and sparkling physiognomy.
OR pre-sale tickets for the two concerts he will be performing as part of the Rockwave Festival, starting on December 3.
