The new generation of Greek singers and composers has given a strong impetus to musical events. A key difference from earlier times is the higher level of musical education among new singers. In the past, most artists in traditional music were self-taught.   Another essential feature is the transmission of personal experiences through musical renditions and overall stage presence.

The new music environment blends different musical genres, combining the new with the old. But there is a sense that something is absent from the latest music reality.

What is this?  The wealth of lyrics that will create a new wave in local music, like those from the 1955-1975  era. There is a question about what is more important in a song. The lyrics or the music composing? Usually, the answer is that both are important, and the good acceptance depends on a good blend. I believe the lyrics are the key to a new song’s widespread success.

An example is the folk song from Nikos Oikonomidis.

The lyrics of this song, speak directly to the heart of the listener.

  You may think that the songwriter desires to provide you with a way to tell others about your feelings.
