“The Greece of theft and remula still exists, but Kazantzidis is not there to send them to the devil” – different

The film monopolizes the public debate “Exist“, which is dedicated to his life Stelios Kazantzidis and which is a huge box office success.

THE Tasos Doussison the occasion of the screening of the film and what has been heard about the life of the great singer, about Greece then and now, he proceeded to a sharp post where it will be discussed. “Kazantzidis overcame and did not tolerate singing and being “buried” with flowers, then dishes, all the dregs of high and lumpen society”, the journalist and publisher notes, among other things.

What Tasos Doussis wrote in detail

“For Kazantzidis and the bouzoukis with the Uganans “Yparcho”. The world of Kazantzidis, the Greece that he sang with “Ah and Vah” does not exist. The Greece of defeat, poverty and misery does not exist, at least to the extent and level experienced by the ancients! Kazantzidis brought out the pure folk feeling, as an innocent folk singer.

Was that all? Of course not. He was one dude singer who said no to the easy profit of the stage because of the disgust he felt for the underworld, the Ugandans, but also the nouveau riche of the time.

He shared the dalka with those who deserved it and not with the scum who brought rides to the first tables. Kazantzidis went above and beyond and did not tolerate singing and being “buried” with flowers, then dishes, all the dregs of high and lumpen society.

In short, he preferred poverty to becoming the singer jester of drunken criminals, thieves, nouveau riche, all those who live and have lived at the expense of society.

The “metal” of his voice was superior because he didn’t play the tricks of the underworld that then, but still today, are played by “some” throwing flowers in singers’ faces, going on the dance floor blindly drunk, demanding the singer’s attention and making bills with money which were not hard earned. Kazantzidis did not tolerate humiliation because some people “threw” money at the bouzoukis.

He looked at them with disgust because that’s what they deserved. They didn’t transfer these to the ‘Exist’ screen, but these are what should have been transferred. Because this is the Greece of the underworld, fraud and theft it still EXISTSexcept that there is no Kazantzidis to send them and their dirty money to hell, together with the proper “ladies” who flaunt themselves on the first tables like gypsy roofs”.
