In the first LP, "Good Morning Sun" the songs are interpreted by the already popular Haris Alexiou and two new singers Kostas Smokovitis and Aleka Alimperti, who appears also in the 2nd LP ("The songs of the road") together with the composer himself with his deep and tender voice and the 'starting' Vassilis Papakonstantinou in two superb songs. You will have the opportunity to hear some of the most beautiful greek ballads ever written. A 'must have' for all greek music lovers. Enjoy.

Manos Loïzos was considered to be one of the most important Greek music composers of the 20th century. He was born on 22 October 1937 to Cypriot immigrants in Alexandria, Egypt. His parents came from the small village of Agioi Vavatsinias, in the district of Larnaca, Cyprus. Loizos moved to Athens at the age of 17 intending to study pharmacology but soon gave up his studies in order to concentrate on his musical career. He was a self-taught musician, with no formal musical arts training. His first recordings were made in 1963 but he started gaining a larger audience after 1967. By 1975 Loizos had become one of the most popular artists in Greek music. He died on 17 September 1982 in a hospital in Moscow, Soviet Union after suffering several strokes. He was well known for his leftist political ideology and was an outspoken critic of the Greek military junta. He was also an active member of the Greek Communist Party. The year 2007 was declared "Manos Loizos Year" in Greece.

LP1: Good Morning Sun (Kalimera Ilie) | 39:30

The 4th LP of Manos Loizos, and his first with a clear political message. He wrote his music on the poetry of Dimitris Hristodoulou, a well known poet and used Haris Alexiou who was already popular from her works with Apostolos Kaldaras ("Asia Minor" & "Byzantine Vesper"), and two new voices Kostas Smokovitis and, Aleka Alimperti who was selected because her voice reminded of Maria Farantouri's who was in Paris with Mikis Theodorakis. The LP contains a song (track no 11) with Loizos himself and his characteristic voice.

LP2: The Songs of the Road (Ta tragoudia tou dromou) | 34:28

Superb album that became the emblem of Manos Loizos and was adored by all Greeks, especially after he died so young (42 yo). The singer and songwritter Manolis Rasoulis, was about to interpret some songs of this album, but (fortunately) his voice had "closed" from his participation in a political demonstration and so, Manos Loizos decided to sing them, and we can hear him today in these wonderful and touching ballads. All album's songs knew a huge popularity and those given to Alimperti were released again with Haris Alexiou in 1979, 1980 and 1985 (3 years after the early composer's death). Enjoy a unique and historical album of the second great "Manos" of greek music.
