Giorgos Mukidis talks to Buongiorno about the return scenarios of Nikos Sfakianakis, Akyla, Argyros and reveals an unknown story with Haroula Alexiou.
“He seemed to have a particular perspective and a heightened and especially artistic and strange. So I redeemed that along the way. I think it’s unlikely that Notis Sfakianakis will return to the night,” he said.
For Akila and Argyros: “As a song it sucks, as a presence it’s very good. Don’t be surprised if we take the lead. Because as an artist it’s something that doesn’t exist. It’s weird. We have no contact with ERT. I’m not involved in the Argyros phenomenon. There’s no way I would write a song about Argyros.”
How does he judge the music scene as it is now?
“But it’s not a firmament now. It’s ready to fall off when you blow it. We’ve got artists full of mosquitoes. They fly, suck blood and leave. Singing is like football. That is, back in the old days when Dionysiou was “playing ball” with Kazantzidis and Angelopoulos, the bench outside was Plutarch, Gonidis, Sfakianakis. If I turn around now and look at the bench we have now, we are crying. Now Peggy Zina is playing ball and the rest of the team is playing. And who’s the bench? Let’s not name names and cry at night. The bench is tragic,” noted George Mukidis.
Which artist would you like to write about and hasn’t written about yet?
“For Haroula Alexiou. I was to do a song, “August” sung by Vasilis Karras. It was to be sung by Haroula. I wrote the first version of the song in 2000 and she listened to it and liked it very much,” George Mookidis revealed in closing.
