Nikos Xydakis is one of Greece's most important composers of the last twenty five years. His first album, "The Revenge of the Gypsies" in 1978 was a ground-breaking experiment with Rebetika forms that heralded the arrival of a new musical idiom in Greece. Working with lyricist Manolis Rasoulis and later Thodoris Gkonis, Xydakis reintroduced neglected instruments to Greek music and opened new melodic roads that often evoke a medieval aura, laced with romantic references to religion, history, legends, and fairy tales. He has published more than 15 albums and has worked with singers Eleftheria Arvanitaki, Melina Kana, Dora Masklavanou, and Nikos Papazoglou among others.
