Solon, taksimi in the time
by Yannis Adrimis , Greece
Solon Lekkas born in 1946 at“Pigi” of Lesvos, is a particular case of amateur self-taught singer. He sings traditional songs of Mytilene, Asia Minor as well as amané songs. Solon, bricklayer and stonemason by profession, he represents a time lost and with his distinctive voice he sings about it and generously offers it to future generations, he takes us close to the temporal earthly human pain singing his amané, preserving musical treasures that are grafted in the soil of the island and in the northeastern Aegean in general.
