Grèce antique et futur antérieur ALAIN BRUNET MIKIS THÉODORAKIS, Vangelis, Demis Roussos, Yanni… C’est tout? Sûrement pas, mais la musique grecque moderne est fort peu connue, force est de constater. Qu’en est-il de la plus actuelle? Ce soir au Spectrum, nous aurons droit à un échantillon probant. Au bout du fil, Kristi Stassinopoulou parle un […]
