Nikos Portokaloglou in Thessaloniki

He welcomes his friends to a different musical performance
This is not another unplugged, nor for forced cuts due to crisis. In the Mill of Thessaloniki, at 2 December, Nikos Portokaloglou welcomes his friends to a different musical performance that aims to act as an antidote to the pessimistic climate of the time.
After a ride of almost 30 years, we know very well that every new step of the songwriter is the result of his "hidden, of endless thirst", of his restless spirit that is not comfortable with the acquired. So in this year's show we are invited to a game where the songs are stripped bare and transformed to rediscover their soul and their origin..
Songs that in the first performances leave, due to electrical instrumentation, just a hint of oriental root, here with oud and fiddle, they will clearly show where they come from. Also lyrical songs that often did not find their place in the big concerts here with strings and guitars will be highlighted again.
Portokaloglou declares in a song of his latest album "oriental rock" but so far the former has probably prevailed over the latter. Remix is ​​a chance for revenge!
