New Ploutarxos! Πλούταρχος Γιάννης - Το φωνάζω

I was introduced to modern laika Greek music through Giannis Ploutarxos back in 2003. If you're a fan of modern Greek music, you know Ploutarxos.

Other than the passion that oozes from this genre of music (passion that you don't need Greek language skills to understand) the one thing I love about Greek artists is how prolific they are. Case in point: These days, most American artists make you wait 2-3 years between CDs. That wait can seem like an eternity if you're a huge fan of someone. Ploutarxos, on the other hand, has put out albums yearly since 2003. And we're talking CDs with 15-17 tracks. Sade, my favorite of all time...are you listening???? Where have you been since 2000?

Plourtarxos' last CD was released not even 12 months ago, and already he has a new single out there. It's an uptempo diddy that seems perfect for the start of summer.
