«Δεν ένιωσα ποτέ ερωτικός ερμηνευτής»

Ο Γιάννης Πάριος είναι γνωστός για την μελωδική του φωνή αλλά και για τα ερωτικά του τραγούδια. Ο τραγουδιστής έδωσε μια συνέντευξη στο περιοδικό «Glam», όπου παραδέχτηκε ότι δεν καταπιέστηκε ποτέ στο ευρύ πεδίο του ερωτικού τραγουδιού, καθώς ερμήνευσε τόσα πολλά διαφορετικά είδη.

Δήλωσε επίσης ότι ποτέ δεν ένιωσε ερωτικός ερμηνευτής καθώς το 99% των τραγουδιών έχουν ερωτικό περιεχόμενο. Ο Γιάννης Πάριος πιστεύει ότι υπάρχουν και σήμερα σπουδαίοι καλλιτέχνες, οι οποίοι έχουν συνδέσει την πορεία τους με το ερωτικό τραγούδι.

Θεωρεί, Nevertheless, ότι οι σημερινοί έχουν ένα κακό, δεν έχουν υπομονή και βιάζονται και δημιουργούν τραγούδια με σκοπό να δημιουργήσουν θέαμα και όχι για να ακούσουν τους στίχους.

Bimota «XXX»: The beginning of a new era;

This is how he imagines the future models of the Italian company, the well-known designer Oberdan Bezzi, who has clearly been influenced by American culture.

The design called Bimota XXX could even be sacrilege for a large share of the European public who have associated the Italian company in their minds with expensive and exotic sports motorcycles.
On the other, Nevertheless, for the American public, creating an Italian muscle bike might have made sense, since it combines American and Italian elements in appearance, top regionals and an exotic name in the tank. Ducati led the way with the Diavel, why not Bimota with a similar proposal...

The center of attention is of course the S's big V-2 engine&S, with Brembo and Ohlins underwriting the brakes and suspension, respectively. The more one looks at it anyway, the more attractive the idea of ​​its implementation becomes.

New Ford Mondeo

After the new Focus, and the next generation of Ford Mondeo will be a global model, aiming to satisfy the diverse needs of a large number of buyers of the German family model.
Ford had declared it from within 2011 and parallel, he had shown it in practice, through the presence of the Frankfurt Evos prototype: The,now it's time to move on to the evolution of the design philosophy of its cars (i.e. of the famous Kinetic Design) and bring us future models with an even more dynamic and premium presence. And true to her schedule, Ford presented us with the new generation of Mondeo (or Fusion in the US) which we will see in Europe at its beginnings 2013 and which will be the first of the new models, which have been influenced by the new design philosophy.
Alongside, the new midsize Ford will be the brand's first global family, since it will be sold the same – only the name changes – in North America, in Asia and Europe.


Emphasized dynamism
More cast lines, new grille with a large grille and long narrow front lights, but also a lower roof that casts furtive glances towards the 4-door coupes, are the main features of the presence of the new Mondeo. In the back section, the raised volume and trapezoidal lights are reminiscent of the corresponding part of the current Mondeo, without, however, depriving anything of the modern quality of the car. Dimensionally, it is too early to know the exact figures of the new midsize Ford, but it is expected not to be significantly different from the current Mondeo, and maybe only the lower ceiling will make a difference. Overall though, the new Mondeo is expected to be even more dynamic and imposing than before.

Even more high-tech interior
The interior of the new Ford Mondeo may not have been officially unveiled, but it is not expected to differ from what the company showed us in the American Fusion. So at first sight, it seems that, we will see a fairly modern result that will convey the high technological background of the car. The design of the dashboard is impressive, which looks set to have two large digital displays on either side of the centrally-mounted speedometer, to display the tachometer, but also the navigation system and trip computer information. Corresponding high-tech elements are incorporated in the central console, with the large info screen dominating the Sony sound system. In the quality field, we again expect high standards for class data, while Ford refers particularly to the part of significantly improved sound insulation.



In the spotlight again are the EcoBoosts
In the new Ford Mondeo the gasoline engines of the EcoBoost series that we met in the renewed existing Mondeo, they will once again be the main protagonists of the range. With turbo and direct injection, these motors of 1,6 and 2,0 liter, they will combine very good performance and performance, with fuel economy and low CO2 emissions. Alongside, in the range there will again be diesel engines in corresponding displacements with those of gasoline engines. However, it is possible that for the first time in its history, the new Mondeo will also receive hybrid versions, so as to offer even more economy and ecology of movement. In everything,what about his American "brother"., the Fusion, there we have already seen its hybrid versions that use a gasoline engine for their movement 2,0 liters and an electric motor. The "simple" hybrid uses the energy stored in the batteries, while the other, under the name "Energi", it can also charge the batteries from an external power supply.

Our point of view
Καλοσωρίζουμε το νέο Mondeo στη γκάμα των παγκόσμιων μοντέλων της Ford, από τη στιγμή μάλιστα που φαίνεται ότι θα είναι ακόμη πιο ποιοτικό, τεχνολογικά προηγμένο και δυναμικό σε σχέση με το τωρινό. Ελπίζουμε βέβαια, η Ford να παγκοσμιοποιήσει και τις υβριδικές εκδόσεις του μοντέλου και να μην τις κρατήσει μόνο για τις Η.Π.Α., αλλά να τις δούμε κάποια στιγμή και στην Ευρώπη. Sure, καλό θα ήταν σε αυτή την περίπτωση, το θερμικό μοτέρ να μην είναι 2λιτρο, αλλά μικρότερου κυβισμού…

Report on the "irrational truth" of Papadiamantis

One hundred and thirteen artists participate in the tribute to the Archaeological Museum of Patras

From Nikos Stefanos to Yiannis Psychopaidis, and from Alexis Veroukas to Michalis Madeni. One hundred and thirteen artists talk about the 'absurd truth' of an ever-fascinating writer, of Skiathite Alexandros Papadiamantis. Of the walker with 'the messy beards, the unkempt surroundings, the muddy shoes, the faded half-high, the papadist barrel with the silver handle and the improvised collar with the black cord".

The exhibition "Visual Tribute to Alexandros Papadiamantis: The truth is always absurd" is already hosted by 9 February at the Archaeological Museum of Patras and will last until 18 Of March.

After her very successful presentation in Athens at the Melina Cultural Center last December, the dedicated exhibition to the leading Greek writer organized by the artistic company Mikri Arktos is transferred to the new Archaeological Museum of Patras organized by Art in Progress "with the conviction that Papadiamantis today, frugal and at the same time extremely penetrating and self-aware both in his life and in his work, remains as relevant as ever". The 6th Ephorate of Prehistoric and Classical Antiquities and the University of Patras collaborate.

The 113 participating artists create wall and sculptural works starting with Alexandros Papadiamantis, attempting to penetrate small aspects of his life and work: to talk about Papadiamantis, the quirky and bohemian in his private life, the more ecclesiastical than religious, the “lonely, unloved and suffering", the reckless spendthrift in the disposal of his hard-earned money though extremely unnecessary in terms of his daily needs, the savior and not the devourer of souls, the user of a rare private language that draws from both the vernacular and the pure, the "saint of Greek letters" and "dark sparrow" of his own stories, the patron of the Dexameni cafe, the solitary walker of Psyrris and regular chanter of Agios Eliseus who sometimes commemorates the autobiographical landscapes and the humble but full of dark passions of Skiathos and sometimes meticulously sketches the slums of Athens and its strange inhabitants.

Athens Concert Hall

The National Theater of England at the Concert Hall

A theatrical trip down memory lane, from his Hollywood 1936, in the small Eastern European village of the early 20th century, to the early steps of the moving image and the explosion of technological wonder, is the new work of Nicholas Wright directed by Nicholas Heitner, which turns the theater stage into a cinema screen.

The reason for the show "The Traveling Light" (Travelling Light), which will be presented at the Athens Concert Hall (Alexandra Trianti Hall) on Thursday 16 February (at 9 p.m.) in a taped broadcast from England's National Theatre.

The project combines the idea of ​​immigration and cinema, the route from the Jewish folk tradition of Europe to American cinema and is inspired by the fact that many Hollywood directors were Jewish immigrants from Eastern Europe. In the leading roles, the Athenian audience will have the opportunity to enjoy the multi-awarded theater actor Anthony Sher, and Paul Jason.

Two times and two places are the space-time of the action: At the beginning we are in his Hollywood 1936 in the company of Maurice Montgomery, a successful director, who at 60 of, "visits" the beginnings of his career in a small village in Eastern Europe in the early years of the 20th century.

The masterful direction of the director of the National Theater of England, Nicholas Heitner, along with Bob Crowley's setting, evoking Chagall and Fiddler on the Roof, they create the right landscape for John Discoll's videos and projections, with which we travel since the first films, with the bearded villagers, in the melodramas of silent cinema. Much of "Travelling Light" is played out on screen, behind the actors, a production hint at today's theater's debt to cinema.

This is the fourth broadcast by the National Theater of England- after "Servant of Two Masters", "Kitchen" and "Collaborators"- which "hosts" the Concert Hall this year, in collaboration with the British Embassy and the British Council.

Amen Amen: a performance by Stavros Xarhakos at the Acropolis Theatre

Premiere at the renovated Acropolis theater on 17 February and for 20 performances up to and including 31 Of March

The Acropolis Theater and the State Theater of Northern Greece are co-producing "Aman Amen", his favorite work
Stavros Xarchakos, a musical performance based on rebetiko song, directed by the composer himself.

The premiere was given on Friday 30 December at the Royal Theater of the co-capital, while in Athens it will premiere at the renovated Acropolis theater 17 February and for 20 performances up to and including 31 Of March.

According to Stavros Xarchakos, rebetika songs are songs of vision for a better life, they are the songs of the denial of dreams, they are the rebetikas of the eternal nostalgia of beauty, the rebetikas of the sanctity of desire, the rebetikas of defiance of terror, the rebetika songs of challenging fate and restless struggle with death...

The "aman" that comes out of the soul meets the "amen" of a prayer. In the straight line that unites the Byzantine organ with the rebetiko and with the Little Asian song, love travels, the passion, the lust, the nostalgia, the fate, the death, dreams for a better life, deprivation of liberty and refugee status. This is how Stavros Xarchakos listened to these sounds of the past and set up a musical performance entitled "Aman Amen". A spectacle-listening with old and new compositions, a folk stage as overwhelming as a liturgy.

Each of the two parts is divided into three sections. There are songs of grace, of Teke and the East.
