Greek Music- Opa!

There's nothing like Greek music to get a Greek going! We feel it in our hearts, we feel it in our bones, we feel it in our psyche. It's something I can't quite fully explain. When that bouzouki starts to play we just want to move!!

Last night I attended a Greek Music Concert at the Rutgers Nicholas Music Hall in New Brunswick,  Manolis Mitsias, a longtime wonderful singer was headlining a fundraising concert for  non profit philanthropic organizations to assist people in Greece and Cyprus. Money raised is going for aid to needy children.

Mitsias was magnificent, we enjoyed the full timber of his voice in many classic Greek songs. Aphrodite Daniels, a local Greek American vocalist was amazing. Her voice filled the room and her fluid long dress and beautiful stature reminded me of a Greek goddess. All the other musicians played together beautifully making it a great musical evening. The house was packed and people sang along, clapped and swayed to the music.

Thank you to the organizers and a shout out to my friend Despina Axiotaki, instrumental in the organization of this event.
