2nd Forest Festival
 
Thanasis Papakonstantinou
Forest Theatre (Theatro Dassous), Wednesday 8 June
 
Vocals: Matoula Zamani & Alexandros Koustas
Largo Band will open the concert

After an intentional winter period of introspection, Thanasis Papakonstantinou along with Matoula Zamani and the rest of their collaborators, shall try once more to keep on standing with authenticity and good mood at the musical events of this summer.
 
They are about to finish off an album, which came out of recordings from past appearances. It will be entitled “5 Cheimones, 6 Kalokairia”(5 Winters, 6 Summers) and captures Matoula’s performance to Thanasis’ songs.
 
They shall present it along with other songs, in a programme aiming to counter the art’s consolatory nature to the cruelty of this time period: “Ola strava ginikane kai ola ein’ oraia” (Everything went wrong and everything is fine).
