This event was a tribute in 1995 to Mikis Theodorakis.
It took place in the ancient Herod Atticus theatre just below the Acropolis.
The two Greek bouzouki players were joined by the Dutch Metropole Orchestra conducted by Dick Bakker. What a dish he is and how he seemed to enjoy the occasion.

Lyrics correction: So countless are the miseries NOT
So countless are my miseries .

Mikis wrote the music for the film "Συνοικία το όνειρο " translated as "Neighbourhood of Dreams". In the film it was sung by Grigoris Bithikotsis. The short dance sequence is taken from that 1961 film. The man at the table was the director and leading actor Alekos Alexandrakis.

Lyrics / Στίχοι: Tasos Livaditis -Τάσος Λειβαδίτης

Μικρά κι ανήλιαγα στενά
και σπίτια χαμηλά μου
βρέχει στη φτωχογειτονιά
βρέχει και στην καρδιά μου.

Αχ ψεύτη κι άδικε ντουνιά
άναψες τον καημό μου
είσαι μικρός και δε χωράς
τον αναστεναγμό μου.

Οι συμφορές αμέτρητες
δεν έχει ο κόσμος άλλες
φεύγουν οι μέρες μου βαριά
σαν της βροχής τις στάλες.
