Do you also love Greek music? Then let us introduce you to one more Greek singer,\u00a0 Kostis Maraveyas.\u00a0<\/strong><\/p>\n

How it all started?<\/strong><\/h2>\n

Maraveyas began his musical career in Italy. He went to study at the University of Bari but quickly abandoned mathematics and statistics to immerse himself in the local underground alternative music scene. His steps eventually brought him back to Greece where his album \u201cWelcome to Greece\u201d introduced him into a wider audience and turned him into a favourite of the modern Greek music scene.<\/p>\n

About his music:<\/strong><\/h2>\n

His influences are plenty and varied: His music combines Mediterranean and Balkan elements, playful experimentations, jazz and bossa nova influences. East meets West. This blend of different sounds helped him stand apart and establish his signature sound, which is now common across all of his albums. Maraveyas often puts his own spin on beloved classic Greek songs such as \u201c\u03a0\u03b5\u03c2 \u03bc\u03bf\u03c5 \u03bc\u03b9\u03b1 \u03bb\u03ad\u03be\u03b7\u201d (\u201cTell me [only] one word\u201d).<\/p>\n

Kostis Maraveyas is an unstoppable force of nature when it comes to all thing\u2019s music. He served as the host of the music documentary \u00ab\u00a0Mesogeios\u00a0\u00bb (\u00ab\u00a0Mediterranean\u00a0\u00bb), and the music documentary series \u00ab\u00a0Mousiki Pantou\u201d (\u201cMusic Everywhere\u201d). What many people do not know is that he also composes music for theatre plays, some of which were performed by the National Theatre of Greece and the Athens & Epidaurus Festival.<\/p>\n

He can do avant garde and sophisticated music, but he has earned \u201cstreet credit\u201d as well: Maraveyas was a nominee at the 2011 MTV Europe Music Awards for the Greek cover version of Lorenzo Jovanotti’s \u00ab\u00a0Baciami Ancora, \u00ab\u00a0Fila Me Akoma\u00a0\u00bb featuring fellow singer-songwriter Panos Mouzourakis. Then we went on to write music for the soundtrack of popular Greek comedy films like \u201c\u0397 \u039a\u03bb\u03b7\u03c1\u03bf\u03bd\u03cc\u03bc\u03bf\u03c2\u201d (\u201cThe Heiress) and \u201cAmore Mio.\u201d
\nFrom 2017 to 2019 he has been one of the four judges of the Greek version of the tv show \u00ab\u00a0The Voice\u00a0\u00bb, winning all three seasons with his team.<\/p>\n

Let\u2019s listen to some Maraveyas’ songs:<\/strong><\/h2>\n

Here we\u2019re kicking off the journey in his music universe with the song \u201cWelcome to Greece\u201d (\u201c\u039a\u03b1\u03bb\u03ce\u03c2 \u03ae\u03c1\u03b8\u03b1\u03c4\u03b5 \u03c3\u03c4\u03b7\u03bd \u0395\u03bb\u03bb\u03ac\u03b4\u03b1\u201d).
\nThis was one of his first songs to become a hit on the radio. It mirrors the image that many people have in their minds when it comes to the Greek lifestyle: relaxed, bohemian and sun-drenched. Enjoy!<\/p>\n
