Evangelos

My hobbies include jogging, hiking, digital photography, and bridge. Music has been a part of my life for as far back as I can remember.

My initial interest in this website related to the translation of some of Fabrizio De André's songs into Greek. I have been living with his enormous contribution to the Italian music for over two decades. I find it a pity that, at the time the Italians started following De André's poetry and music, the only interest of the Greeks in the Italian music involved fifth-rate trash. Even worse, they believed at that time that all those 'cheesy, catchy headache builders' made up all the best the neighbouring country had to offer to other cultures.

I then slowly moved to also cover the work of other musicians, who (unfortunately) remained generally unknown in Greece (and elsewhere), one celebrated example being the Bernese singer-songwriter Mani Matter.

I am a retired physicist and have extensive experience in numerous Physics- and Mathematics-related branches, including the statistical analysis of data.
