Ouzo Talk - Bouzouki legend Thanasis Polykandriotis

Ouzo Talk goes bi-lingual* for one episode as the boys welcome bouzouki legend, teacher, composer and recording artist, Thanasis Polykandriotis to The Distillery. From working with legends such as Stelios Kazantzidis, Manos Hatzidakis, Nana Mouschouri, Mikis Theodorakis and Stratos Dionysiou to name a few, Thanasi is rightly revered as one of the greats of Greek folk, classical and popular music. With returning bouzouki experts, Peter Apostolidis and George Calopedos also on board for the ride, the boys dive deeper into the world of Greek music than ever before, only this time, we have our very own legend as our guide.

*A note to our non-Greek-speaking listeners:
Ouzo Talk is first and foremost an English-speaking podcast, however this particular episode is delivered primarily in Greek as unfortunately, our featured special guest is unable to speak English. Our sincere apologies to those who are unable to follow along with this conversation. We recommend listening to episode 2 of Ouzo Talk 'The Bouzouki' if you haven't already as it informs much of the discussion with Thanasis Polykandriotis. Rest assured, Ouzo Talk is an English-speaking podcast and we'll be back with a new English episode shortly!
