“Termites: The Journey” highlights in a simple and cinematic way the meeting of the band members, the adventures they had abroad, in Greece and in the world of Music.
A literal journey, with their car becoming their home, in Paris and on the other hand a metaphorical journey that confirms the timelessness of their own sound, spontaneity and their dream. In a limited-edition edition, each of their benchmarks unfolds, making us even now talk about the life lost in the dust.

In 1972, in their teenage years, together with Lavrentis Mahairitsa, they created their first group called PL Band, which later with the addition of other well-known musicians was renamed PLJ Band and later “Termites”.
He was the composer of many of the band’s songs and after its breakup he wrote songs for several singers. Some of them are “I feel a lot” performed by Manolis Lidakis, “Look what happened” performed by Doukissa and “Fantazoami” with Nikos Nomikos.
It was the time when he decided that musically he had already fulfilled his youthful dream through the Termites and so he decided to engage in various professions. Since 2000, he has been living in Bulgaria and working in the catering industry, while at the same time he released a CD with songs in jazz style, which the country’s state channel considers a very interesting project.
In Philippopolis from 2010 to 2014, he forms two groups with Greek students: The “music registries” and “Meteorous” and they appear in different clubs. At the same time, he begins to write the path of his life, the one that concerns his relationship with music and the path of the band Termites…
