So now, more than ever, I feel the need to continue to "embrace" with my music both yourself and everything else that is truly yours and ours.
Everything that was, is and shall always be Greek.
I say ours because, thank God, there are many of us who think this way and I hope that we shall become more and more. Because the truth is such that, It gathers around it “true faces”, who then wait for the right moment or the right person before they present themselves." (Stamatis Spanoudakis)
