What a singer!

There are only two Greek singers, that when they sing certain songs, make my heart stop and my hair stand from emotion. One is Grigoris Bithikotsis aka "Sir Bithi" and the second one is Nikos Ksilouris. All the rest, except Haris Alexiou are "mere toothpastes" as we say in Greek (Sorry Stelio)
Yesterday, in one of those stupid Greek financial papers that I don't read because they are full of the most moronic financial analysis but my brother does as he is CEO of a Greek oil company and should read whatever rubbish the Greek financial community is saying, there was a CD of Nikos Ksilouris, that was given with the paper for free.
I give you one of his songs, not one of his best, but this one you don't need to know any Greek to feel his epic voice. Usually his lyrics are very deep and refer to his beloved island of Crete. Enjoy it.
